We are all cooking tremendous amounts at the moment and it’s great to find a healthy, restaurant style meal that can be cooked quickly and easily. I’ve said it many times, but these pre-cooked pouches of lentils from @merchantgourmet are so useful and there are so many different varieties to try. For this recipe any kind of lentils can be used, rice, quinoa, couscous, mixed grains would all work beautifully. Any fish would work, or you could top the lentils with tofu, chicken breast or cheese. If you can’t find spinach, then how about adding Swiss chard, cavolo nero or frozen peas? Another versatile recipe that you can make your own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
