    Spinach With Millet And Red Lentils

    Recipe By : Michael Traub Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Main Dishes Side Dish
    Vegetarian Low Fat

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 Lg Onion — chopped
    2 Garlic Cloves — minced
    2 Tsp Cumin
    1 Tsp Paprika
    1 Tsp Black Pepper
    1/2 Tsp Salt
    1 Lb Spinach
    1/4 Lb Mushrooms
    2 med Zucchini
    1/2 C Lentils — red
    1 C Millet
    1 lb Tomatoes — peeled, canned ok
    1 1/2 tsp Salt
    Tomato Puree — to thicken

    In a frying pan fry the garlic, onion, paprika and cumin in some water.
    Simmer with a lid on for a couple of minutes. Add the mushrooms and the
    zucchini and simmer for a few minutes more. Add the shredded spinach, salt
    and pepper and simmer till the spinach reduces down.

    In a separate pot boil the millet and the lentils till cooked. Millet
    usually takes longer than red lentils so wait for 5 min before adding
    them. As the millet and lentils absorb the water put in the chopped peeled
    tomatoes and the salt. Continue simmering till the millet is tender,
    adding more water if necessary.

    Combine the millet and lentil mix with the spinach. Add tomato puree to
    thicken. Simmer for another couple of minutes.
