What you’ll need

Ingredient and allergen checks

  • Check the lentils, tinned tomatoes and spices, especially if substituting a mixed seasoning for the individual spices.

These notes refer to the listed ingredients. Check every product label and substitution for your own allergies, and avoid cross-contamination during preparation. A dietary label does not mean a recipe is allergen-free.

  3. Stir in spinach until wilted and serve.
