1 cup brown lentils (can use green split peas too)
1 cup couscous (or burghul/broken wheat)
2 cups spinach
1 large onion
1 tomato
2 cloves garlic
1/2 green pepper
2 cups vegetable broth (or water will do as well) (Click here for a home made broth recipe)
Boil lentils in water until almost cooked/ water is absorbed.
Throw in couscous and add the broth (or more water; about 2 cups)
In a pan; saute the onion and garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil.
Add 1 tbsp coriander, 1 tbsp cumin powder and 1 tbsp paprika (1 tsp if using chili powder).
Stir a bit until spices are cooked.
Add tomatoes- saute until cooked.
Add spinach and green pepper.
Add this mixture to the lentils+couscous mix and stir in salt and lots of fresh black pepper.
Boil a little longer (or until desired consistency- add more water if needed)
Turn off fire and squeeze in juice of a whole lemon, also add some zest in for extra kick.
Voila! Serve with a spoonful of yogurt and/or drizzle of olive oil. Goes well with pita and hummous. Yum! :)
