6 steps

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrots, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and soft.

2
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
3
Add the rinsed lentils and the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are completely tender but not mushy.
5
Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the chopped fresh spinach and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
6
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread.
