To make the dhal, heat the oil in a casserole dish or saucepan. Add the onion, along with a pinch of salt, and fry over a medium heat for 10-12 mins or until turning golden and sticky. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 min more.
step 2
Add the spices and fry, stirring, for 1 min. Add the lentils, tomato purée, coconut milk and 450ml water, as well as a good pinch of seasoning. Gently simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 mins. Add a splash more water if it starts to stick to the pan.
step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a flat baking sheet with baking parchment. Rub the cauliflower slices with the oil, spices and some seasoning. Lay on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 mins, or until golden around the edges and cooked through.
step 4
Spoon the dhal onto two plates and top with cauliflower steaks. Scatter over the coconut flakes and coriander, and serve with a dollop of yoghurt alongside.

Hot cocoa made with cocoa powder and maple syrup. Mix with coconut milk, almond milk, or any other milk of your choice. Paleo, dairy-free, and vegan.
Sabrina Modelle
Hot cocoa may be the most comforting beverage of all time. And while I have fond childhood memories of packets of hot cocoa with tiny hard marshmallows, my taste in hot chocolate has become slightly more sophisticated as an adult.
This Paleo hot chocolate is high on the cocoa content, lower on sugar. It’s sweetened with dark amber maple syrup and gets a flavor boost from espresso powder.
Make a double batch of the cocoa syrup base and store it in the fridge so you can have truly great hot chocolate in the time it takes to heat up some milk!
Sabrina Modelle
For the milk component of this hot chocolate, use any type you like. For a rich vegan version, try full fat coconut milk. It’s also excellent with hazelnut, cashew, or almond milk. It also works beautifully with full fat or low fat dairy milk.
Sabrina Modelle
Add as much or as little of the chocolate syrup as you like. I generally add about two tablespoons (one ounce) of syrup for every cup (8 ounces) of milk. With this ratio, you’ll end up with a mug of hot cocoa that’s not cloyingly sweet.
Though there are no tiny marshmallows, you can treat yourself to a dollop of whipped cream and some finely chopped chocolate on top. Drink it on the couch with a cozy blanket and a good book!

Day 5 exploring sourdough discards. Yum…jalapeno cornbread. I would add cheese, but I had no vegan cheese. Of course, if you aren’t keeping it vegan, feel free to add some cheese. If you like spicy, don’t remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno. If you like things a little milder, use half and remove the seeds and membranes. You can also substitute up to 1/4 cup whole wheat for 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Maple syrup, brown rice syrup would works well for the agave syrup. Melted vegan or regular butter , or even olive oil or a neutral oil can be used in place of the coconut oil. —weshook
Ingredients
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
salt
2 tablespoons
coconut oil, melted
2 ounces
sourdough starter
2 tablespoons
agave syrup
1/2 cup
soy milk
1
jalapeno, finely diced.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease thoroughly a 6-inch round cake pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients.
In the small bowl that you melted the coconut oil in, stir together the coconut oil, sourdough starter and the agave syrup. Set aside.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add the coconut oil mixture and the diced jalapeno. Add the cheese here if you want it. Stir again…gently.
Pour the batter into the pan. Add more cheese on top to be extra awesome. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a pick comes out clean. Eat with butter or chili, or just plain.
