The ingredients for Spicy Sunday Night Lentils are:

1 3/4 cup dried lentils, rinsed
2 1/2 cups light chicken broth

3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon Cholula hot sauce

2 cups fresh spinach
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Here is how you make Spicy Sunday Night Lentils:

Rinse and drain lentils, making sure there aren't any rocks in there. Pour lentils into a nonstick pan, and add 1/3rd of the chicken broth. Add all spices -- garlic, cumin, crushed red pepper, and CholulaSimmer lentils over medium heat until they've soaked up much of the broth, then add the next 1/3rd of the broth. Repeat until you've used all the broth. You can also add water if you want to lower the sodium. When lentils are cooked to your liking (I prefer them with a little bite to them, so cook them 30 minutes or less), add the fresh spinach, chopped mushrooms, and cilantro. Mix in and let simmer until spinach has wilted and mushrooms are tender. Cook 1 cup dried couscous as directed (boil 2 cups water, remove from heat, add couscous and let sit for five minutes, covered.)Serve lentils over couscous and enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user UPSTAIRSMARJ.
