1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salad Dressing
2 tsps tumeric

* Place Varoma Bowl and cook for 20 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Reverse / Soft Speed
* Set cauliflowers aside. (They won't be cooked completely but remain a bit crunchy)
* Continue to cook lentils 15 minutes more at Varoma Temperature on Reverse / Soft Speed
* In the meantime place cauliflowers in a bowl and dress with red wine vinegar and oil
* Drain lentils. Remove celery, carrot and garlics

It is adapted with a few changes from the recipe called as Cavolfiore Caldo con Insalata di Lenticche in Natale con Bimby Book
