INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Into a pot add your ingredients for the rice. Follow cooking ingredients. I like my rice creamy and rich for this dish but fluffy is great too!
  2. Into a larged sized frying pan add your coconut oil and heat for 30 seconds.
  3. To the oil add your onions and cook down on medium heat for 5 minutes. Occasionally stir.
  4. Add all your spices and give a good stir.
  5. Now add your tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. Cook down for 5-10 minutes until you reach your desired “thick” consistency.
  6. Add your strained lentils and cook on low for another 10 minutes.
  7. Now add your coconut milk and cook for yet another 5 minutes.
  8. At the last minute add your spinach.
  9. Garnish with some citrus, coriander and almonds!
  10. Yum!
