- Allow the spinach to cool and drain its water.
- Finely dice the onion(s) and fry with one tbsp of oil in a pot until soft and translucent.
- Add the lentils, remaining oil, turmeric, stock powder, mustard and 1L of water to the pot.
- Bring mixture to a boil and then allow to simmer on low heat for 15 to 20 mins until most of the water is drained and the lentils are tender.
