Curry-Spiced Lentils & Spinach

[Guest guest]

I made this for dinner tonight. I don't plan ahead

much, so I made this on the stovetop. I sauted the

onions and garlic in a little bit of olive oil and

then added the spices, stirring until fragrant. I

added the lentils and broth and brought to a boil. I

reduced the heat and cooked for about 30 minutes,

until the lentils were tender. I had to add about 2

more cups of broth. I added salt and pepper to tate.

I left out the rice in the recipe and just made

Basmati rice on the side. I mixed a little Harissa

(I'll post the recipe seperate) into my lentils and

rice.....yum!
