150g red lentils
800ml vegetable stock

Method
– Add 1 tbsp oil to a hot pan. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
– Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
– Add the chickpeas with their liquid, the tomatoes, red lentils, and vegetable stock. Mix well, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
– Add the spinach, stir through, and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Test for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
– Time to serve! I like to garnish mine with a pinch of chilli flakes for some added heat.
