This is a great meal to make when you want something healthy but will also fill that cozy comfy place inside. Lentils are pretty high on my list of favorite foods, I just love the natural flavors and the health benefits. This is another recipe from a friend at church and it has become one of our favorite fall/winter meals. It makes about 3 servings so adjust to fit your family. It's nice for us that there is some left over for lunches the next day.
1 cup lentils
3 carrots (grated)
1 small onion (chopped)
Spinach
Brown rice (cooked, I use 1 cup uncooked to prepare)
Fresh salsa - try this recipe, it's our favorite
1 Avocado (chopped)
Combine lentils, onion, and carrot with 4 cups of water in a large pot.
Cook about 25-30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Add some seasonings if you like, I used cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Also prepare some brown rice at this point, it will take about 35 minutes.
The base of the bowl is a BIG handful of spinach
then add some rice,
The hot rice and lentils will wilt the spinach.
add the lentils,
Finally top with lots of fresh salsa, avocado, and tortilla chips.
Enjoy it knowing that it's all good for you! Well, maybe not the chips, but you need a little crunch in there!
