Red lentil dhal and roasted carrots with miso paste

This bowl full of aromas and colors is exactly the type of food that will warm you up from the inside and provide your body with a good dose of nutrients. I softened the creamy red lentil dhal cooked in vegetable broth and tomato passata sauce with soy cream, seasoned it with spices, and served it with fresh herbs. To make it a little more special, I added roasted carrots in a miso marinade, which caramelize beautifully when roasted and give the dish a slightly sweet umami flavor. You can serve it with basmati rice—or if you want a lighter version, you can leave it out. It's the perfect comfort food for dinner or meal prep for those days when you're short on time. 🌿
