Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Vegetable Broth, divided
  • 1 Large Shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 Fennel Bulb, finely chopped
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Cup Brown, Black, or Green Lentils
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Cayenne
  • 2 Bunches Mature Spinach, de-stemmed
  • 8 Slices Sprouted Bread like Ezekiel Bread
  • 1 Lemon, halved
  • 1 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots, fennel, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Add the lentils, salt, cayenne, and the remaining vegetable broth. Stir, scraping down sides of pot so that all of the lentils are submerged. Partially cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and lay the spinach on top of lentils. Do not stir. Cover again and cook 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook another 2-3 minutes until the lentils are cooked and the greens are wilted.
  • Meanwhile, toast the bread.
  • To assemble, add the greens and lentils to a slice of toast. Top with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of mustard seeds. Enjoy!
