Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white onion, halved and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup lentils
½ cup water
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until beginning to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic to onion; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Mix chicken broth, lentils, 1/2 cup water, crushed garlic, coriander, salt, cumin, chili powder, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Cover pan, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils are soft, about 35 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The lentils were tender and the spinach was wilted just the way I like it.
