INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry lentils (100g)
1 medium carrot
1 celery stalk
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 garlic clove
1 cup spinach
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions become translucent.
Add chopped carrot and celery to the pot, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaf.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Once the lentils have softened, add the spinach and simmer for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove the bay leaf, and serve hot.
