Description
This is my own adaptation of an Indian recipe. It doesn’t look like much, but it is surprisingly yummy. Serve this for dinner over hot rice or a diced baked potato. Pair with carrots, cauliflower, or a fresh sliced tomato for a full meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 white onions, halved and sliced into 1/2 rings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup lentils
- 2 cups water
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Instructions
- Heat oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Saute onion for 10 minutes or so
- until it begins to turn golden. Add minced garlic and saute for another minute or so.
- Add lentils and water to the saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover
- lower heat
- and simmer about 35 minutes
- until lentils are soft ( this may take less time
- depending on your water and the lentils).
- Meanwhile cook the spinach in microwave according to package directions. Add spinach
- salt and cumin to the saucepan. Cover and simmer until all is heated
- about ten minutes. Grind in plenty of pepper and press in extra garlic to taste.
