- 50 g green lentils (small portion)
- 200 g spinach
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 (juiced) lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Rinse the 50 g of green lentils under cold water, then place them in a small saucepan, cover with water, and simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes until just tender, then drain and set aside.
- Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering.
- Add the 200 g of spinach to the pan in batches, stirring each addition until wilted, which should take approximately 5 minutes in total.
- Stir the drained green lentils into the wilted spinach, mixing well to combine, and cook together over low heat for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
