Ingredients

3 cups Lentils, dry rinsed

1 lb Spinach, Fresh chopped

1 large Onion chopped

3 Garlic cloves crushed

1 cup uncooked Brown Rice cook before adding

3/4 cup Olive Oil

3/4 cup Lemon Juice

1 teaspoon Flour, GF

1 teaspoon Salt


Directions

1. Cook lentils, covering with about 2 inches of water until tender (only about 12 minutes). 2. Add spinach and cooked brown rice. Add water to keep right consistency. 3. While cooking lentils, sauté onions in olive oil until brown around edges. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Immediately add to lentil mixture. 3. Add lemon juice blended with the flour to thicken sauce. 4. Simmer. Add a touch of salt. Bon appetite! NOTE: Original recipe called for Orzo instead of Brown Rice. If you prefer, use one "heaping handful." Add it uncooked in Step 2 above. NOTE2: I think if you use a quick cooking rice, you could put the uncooked rice in with the lentils at the beginning in place of the Orzo in the note above.
