Lentils Spinach & Quinoa

Adapted from "The Everything Organic Cooking for Baby & Toddler Book"

1 cup green lentils
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
2 cups chicken broth
1 garlic clove
olive oil
3 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)

Place quinoa and water in large bowl.  Cover loosely and microwave on high for 4 minutes.  Stir.  Cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Stir and set aside.  De-stem and chop spinach coarsely. Mince garlic.

Saute garlic & olive oil for 3 minutes over low heat

Add lentils to the pan with garlic and olive oil.  Add chicken broth.  Boil for 3 minutes.  Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Add spinach to pan.  Cook for about 5 minutes or until spinach is wilted.  Toss.  Add quinoa and toss until combined.

Difficulty	Easy
Does it freeze well?	Yes, but make sure you pack it tightly.
Would I eat it?	Yes - would make a good side dish.
Does A like it?	Yes

Notes: Test the lentils at 10 minutes to see how much time you'll need to cook.  You may need to add more chicken broth.  Could probably increase spinach to 4 cups.
