Notes

Sautee your onions and garlic on medium heat and don't be tempted to rush through this step by turning up the heat. The garlic should not brown as it will make your lentil stew bitter.
You can use a cup of canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
Fresh spinach can be substituted with frozen, thawed spinach.
