Spinach Lentil Saute

Ok, now I'm not promising that your children will eat this. But hubby and I enjoy it! Plus it is really good every now and then to eat a meal that is nutritionally rich and free from sugar. If I still haven't convinced you to try it, hubby says it tastes like the topping off a vegie pizza.

In a large pot bring to boil:

4 cups water

Add:

1/2 cup lentils, rinsed
1/2 cup rice, rinsed

simmer the lentils and rice for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally

In a pan saute for 3 minutes:

4 T butter
1 cup onion
1 garlic clove

Stir into onion saute and cook for 10-15 minutes:

1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
10 oz frozen spinach, defrosted and juices squeezed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne (I used red pepper for more heat)

Stir drained lentils and rice in with vegies. Garnish with shredded Swiss cheese
