1 bag lentils
1-2 onions
1-2 cloves garlic
1-2 tomatoes
fresh spinach (couple handfuls)
fresh parsley (optional)
2 spoons tomato paste
salt & pepper
cumin
olive oil
Boil 1 bag of lentils until almost totally done (still firm in middle). Then rinse off the “scum” in colander.
Fry the onion and then the garlic together until clear – not brown.
Chop tomato and add to the onion and garlic — fry together on low.
Put rinsed lentils, onion garlic & tomato, and some water into a pot. Tear up the cleaned spinach into the mix.
Add tomato paste, salt & pepper, chopped parsley if desired, and cumin. Cumin is the main spice here — if you are not sure that you like it, then start with about 1-2 Tbsp. You can increase it later if you find you want more of that flavor.
Cover and cook on low until the spices are set and the lentils soft.
