Ingredients
3 tablespoons canola oil divided1 head cauliflower (about 2 pounds), coarsely chopped1 medium red onion, thinly sliced3 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped2 teaspoons to 1 tbsp curry powder2 teaspoons kosher salt1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed1 cup pearled couscous1/2 cup split red lentils5 ounces baby spinachGarnish (NOT INCLUDED IN CALORIE CALCULATION)2 limes, divided1/2 cup Greek-style plain full or low-fat yogurt3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves for serving1/4 cup sliced almonds (for serving; optional)
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium. Add cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown and soften, 5-8 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and cook, stirring, until onion and cauliflower are cooked through, 5-7 minutes more. Add curry powder, salt, and cumin. Cook, stirring, until spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
Add broth and bring to a boil. Add chickpeas, couscous, and lentils, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid couscous from sticking, until couscous and lentils are cooked through and liquid is almost completely reduced to a thick sauce, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, juice 1 lime to yield 3 Tbsp. juice. Whisk lime juice, yogurt, and 3 Tbsp. chopped cilantro in a medium bowl until smooth. Add water by the tablespoonful until sauce is thin enough to drizzle. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
Fold spinach into chickpea mixture. Top with cilantro leaves and almonds, if using, and serve yogurt sauce and lime wedges alongside.
