Extravagance House

Ingredients

500 g yellow lentils
2 l water
330 ml homemade tomato paste
160 g diced onion
100 g grated carrot
15 g garlic (2-3 cloves)
200 g frozen spinach
1 tbsp homemade seasoning or 1/2 vegetable cube stock
1 tsp pepper

Instructions

Wash the lentils until the water is clean. Prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Boil in 1.5 l water and tomato paste. Boil for 20 minutes.
Dice the onion and grate the carrot.
Add them to the lentils with the remaining water. Boil for another 10-15 minutes, if you want a stew. Boil 20 more minutes if you want to make Lentil Paste.
Add the spinach, homemade seasoning (the cube), pepper, and garlic. Boil 5-10 minutes, depending on how fast the spinach will cook.
Put the lentils into a blender or use a vertical one, and blend to a paste.
Serve with white rice or wholemeal bread, for a vegetarian dish or if you are fasting.
If you want, add turkey meatballs, chicken breast, or pork.
