Wash the lentils, boil for 15 minutes so they stay firm, then drain.
Separate the cauliflower into small florets and thinly slice the thick stems.
Cook the onion and tomato paste in olive oil for 4 minutes, completing the time so the raw smell of the paste disappears.
Add the cauliflower to the pot and turn it in the tomato oil for 3 minutes.
Add the lentils, hot water, and salt, then cook over low heat for 22 minutes.
Rest the pot covered for 5 minutes so the cauliflower pieces do not break during serving.
Serve lemon and parsley separately to balance the earthy flavor of the lentils.
💡 Tip: Separate the cauliflower into large florets so it does not fall apart while cooking with the lentils.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with lemon and parsley.
