IngredientsIngredient Checklist

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 medium carrots, finely diced

2 stalks celery, finely diced

1 large onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon crushed saffron threads

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

4 cups low-sodium no-chicken or chicken broth

1 ½ cups water, plus more as needed

1 pound red lentils (2 cups), picked over and rinsed

5 ounces spinach, coarsely chopped

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground pepper

Plain yogurt & chopped fresh mint for garnish
DirectionsInstructions Checklist
Step 1
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion and cook until starting to soften, 7 to 10 minutes. (Do not brown.) Stir in garlic, tomato paste, cumin, saffron and turmeric and cook for 1 minute.

Step 2
Add broth, water, lentils, spinach, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook, stirring as needed to prevent sticking, until the lentils and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more water if desired.

Step 3
Garnish with yogurt and mint, if desired!

INGREDIENTS
2 iceberg lettuces, outer leaves removed
1 bunch chives, snipped
1/2 bunch dill, fronds picked
50-70g creamy sheep’s milk feta (Bulgarian sheep’s milk feta works, or even a Danish cow’s milk feta would be good too)
VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
30g thinly sliced eschalot
50ml agrodolce-style white wine vinegar (if you can’t find that, add 2 tsp honey to regular white wine vinegar)
1 tsp salt
1 1/ 2 tsp dried oregano
120ml extra-virgin olive oil
METHOD
1.First, make your vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar with a lid, combine the eschalot, vinegar and salt. Leave to macerate for about 15 minutes. Next, add the oregano and olive oil and mix or shake to combine.
2.Cut your iceberg into thin, long wedges and arrange on a platter. Shake the dressing up just before pouring it over the lettuce. Sprinkle a bit of salt on top, followed by the chives and dill, then shave slices of cheese over the whole thing, or simply crumble it in. Serve immediately.
