Step 1
Heat the oil in large pot over high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic, all the herbs and spices and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and carrots and sauté for 2 minutes to sear the vegetables.

Step 2
Add the stock, crushed tomatoes, lentils and raisins. Boil the mixture for 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes or until all vegetables are tender. Add more stock or water if the stew is evaporating too quickly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
