Lentils with Farro and Spinach

Spread the love

Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in a few days.  I have been wanting to make sure my website worked before adding a new recipe, as there have been some server issues that I do not understand.  This is a super nutritious one-pot meal including legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.  I just sauteed some onion and carrots in olive oil as a flavor base, added rinsed a half cup of rinsed farro, a cup of rinsed lentils, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, 4 cups water, and a pinch of herbs de provence.  Simmer until farro and lentils are tender, about 50 minutes.  Add rinsed baby spinach leaves or chopped spinach and allow to wilt.  So easy!  If water is absorbed before farro and lentils are tender, add a little more.  You could vary the herbs you use, too.  Marjoram, thyme, rosemary and basil are herbs that I like with this kind of dish.  You might want to try something else.  Easy, delicious, and nutritious!  With spinach coming into season now or soon, depending upon where you live, you can eat local food, too!
