Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add the dried lentils into a non stick pan with a lid and cover with at least 2-3 cups of water.
  2. Add the spices and simmer, while covered for 20 minutes over medium heat. Check often to make sure there is still a lot of water inside.
  3. Uncover and add the frozen spinach directly to the pan; add additional water to cover. Cover and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes.
  4. Uncover, stir, and continue to simmer until the water has completely evaporated (usually another 5-10 minutes). Season to taste with additional salt/pepper.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
