Very interesting dish when it comes to flavours and textures. Spicy curried split pea stew, delicate scallops, crunchy romanesco cauliflower, finished with slightly flavoured oil and decorated with coriander.
High in protein and fibre and low in carbs.
For this recipe you will need cast iron to cook dhal and a Bbq.
