Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Peel the onion and cut into 6 wedges. Halve the carrots lengthways. Place onto one side of a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook in the oven for 20 mins, until golden and soft.
  2. Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 2cm cubes. Put into a bowl and toss with the za'atar, 1 tsp oil and a good pinch of sea salt to coat. Add to the tray with the onion and carrots and cook for the remaining time.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley, coriander and chives. Drain and rinse the lentils. Quarter the lemon. Put the lentils into a mixing bowl and add the raisins, parsley, coriander and half the chives. Season with the juice from one-quarter of the lemon, sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Put the yoghurt in a small bowl. Grate the garlic and add to the yoghurt, along with the remaining chives, the juice from another quarter of the lemon and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. After 20 mins, add the kale to the tay with the tofu. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Return to the oven for 5-8 mins, until golden and crispy.
  6. Stir the kale and roasted vegetables through the lentils and transfer to a serving bowl. Place the tofu on top and drizzle over the garlic yoghurt. Garnish with the black sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
