• 1 carrot, sliced
  
• 400g button mushrooms, halved or quartered depending on size
  
• 1 tsp veg stock powder more if needed
  
• 1 caan tinned apricots OR 1/3 cup dried apricots and 3/4 cup apricot or apple juice

Instructions



1. Use some olive oil in a saucepan to saute onion and carrot. Add mushrooms and bayleaf and pour over tin of apricots (you can blend them into puree if wished but I don't mind them whole)
   
2. Add stock powder and spices and add in water so that vegies are covered. Simmer 5 minutes. Add cauliflower. Simmer on low about 10-15 minutes until tender (longer if you want)
   
3. Add spinach leaves and turn off heat while you prepare the couscous. Add tofu or tempeh if using. Serve
