Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F.

  2. 2

    Peel the carrots and slice them on the diagonal; peel the onions and roughly chop them into sixths. Place the vegetables on a baking tray along with the fennel seeds, cumin seeds, olive oil and lots of salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until tender and golden.

  3. 3

    Heat a pan and dry fry the pine nuts for a few minutes until they begin to turn golden; then set aside to cool.

  4. 4

    To make the cashew cream, simply blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender until totally smooth.

  5. 5

    In a medium bowl, toss together the lentils, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

    To serve, tip the cashew cream onto a large plate or serving dish and spread out into an even layer using the back of a spoon. Scatter over half of the lentils, followed by the roasted vegetables. Add the remaining lentils, coriander, watercress, pine nuts, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
