3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 x 28-oz. cans diced tomatoes

Heat a large, heavy pot. Add olive oil. Add onions to hot oil and saute over medium heat until
golden-brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add cauliflower, stir and cook until brown, about 10-12
minutes. Add the herbs, spices, lentils and tomatoes. Simmer, with lid on, for 30 minutes or
until lentils are tender. Remove lid and simmer for 10 minutes more until sauce is nice and
thick.*
Serve over polenta or substitute pasta or sautéed greens.

desired as well.
