This is a wonderful comfort food that you don't have to feel guilty about. Lentils are good for you, but cooked this way they are comforting and warm.
2/3 cup brown lentils
2 tsp fresh parsley (diced)
2/3 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 2/3 cups stock (vegetable or chicken)
handful of fresh spinach (torn into small pieces)
2/3 small sweet onion (chopped)
1 bay leaf
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
---
Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Cook the onions until lightly browned and translucent. Add the bay leaf and lentils, stir to combine and cover with oil. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 40 minutes or until lentils are tender. Remove from heat. Add spinach and bell peppers, stir to combine. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar for flavor. Serve warm.
