  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 15 baby carrots, sliced
  • 8 baby potatoes, diced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon each salt & pepper
  • 2 cups dried green or brown lentils
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups baby spinach


Instructions

  • 1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onion when the oil is hot and let sauté for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.


  • 2. Add the carrots and potatoes and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Then add all the spices from cumin to salt and pepper and stir continuously for 30 seconds.


  • 3. Add the lentils, vegetable broth, and tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine, cover with a lid, and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 hours.
