One-Pot Lentils & Rice with Spinach

Thanks so much for this recipe. I'm not a huge fan of cooked spinach. But it's good for me, so I persist trying to find recipes I can use it in. I used fresh spinach for this recipe and was so pleased with the result. Something about the seasonings decreases the bitterness you often get with cooked spinach. I could barely taste it. And this recipe is so easy! It's definitely going in the regular rotation. This is one of those things you can cook when you're dog tired at the end of a long workday and just want to order in...

A little too spicy for my liking but still good. Super easy to follow and not a lot of work. I added a can of chickpeas which gave it a nice change in texture.

Just made this. Sooooo good! For such a simple recipe, was seriously flavorful. I could also see peppers, olives, black beans or feta, added in to change it up. But was really wonderful the way it is. Thank you!!

Like a reviewer suggested, at the end, I added 1 cup of veggie broth and then less salt (3/4tsp salt) with about 5oz (4 or 5 cups) chopped fresh spinach, and let it cook down again uncovered. I also topped it with toasted walnuts pieces, and it was AMAZING. Felt like I was on the River walk in San Antonio, eating the most delicious vegan thing.

I found this dish lacking in flavor. Big disappointment. If I were motivated to try the recipe again I'd probably use broth instead of water, use fresh spinach and more of it, plus toasted nuts and feta or ricotta salata cheese

A delicious meal made from what was in my pantry and freezer!
