The ingredient list looks big, but this is a simple and easy dish to cook. Lamb can be replaced with other meat, but I like to use Lamb for this dish, and I like to add plenty of Spices. You can use your favourite Spices and Herbs.

Steps

1

Cut Onion and Carrot into bite-size pieces. Prepare Garlic and Ginger. Cut Lamb into chunky bite-size pieces.
2

Heat Olive Oil in a pot, cook Lamb for a minute, add Onion, Garlic and Carrot, stir for a few minutes, add Ginger and all Spices (and Herbs), and stir. Add Tomatoes, Stock and rinsed Dry Lentils, and bring to the boil.
3

Add Bay Leaf, cover with a lid, and simmer for 20 to 40 minutes, occasionally stirring. *Note: Cooking time depends on the type of Lentils. Today I used Green Lentils and cooked for 40 minutes.

Season with Salt & Pepper. Then add Baby Spinach, but it is optional. It won’t take long for Baby Spinach to be cooked. Sprinkle with Parsley and enjoy.
