Curried Spinach and Lentil Bake image

Made this yesterday, it was very easy and really tasty. It falls into the minimal ingredients category. From Country Living's shorcuts. The article said that Julia Child once said "frozen spinach is certianly one of the great inventions." Well, whatever!? She said that before they came up with rinsed and bagged spinach. I reduced the oil and used lite coconut milk. A great vegan main dish recipe, or serve it with meat for a really easy home made dinner. Use a pan that's oven-proof for easy clean-up, or if you don't have one, transfer to a baking dish. Note that lentils should be cooked first and spinach thawed and drained.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much curry powder. I'll definitely try it again with less spice.
