Curried Spinach and Lentil Bake image

Made this yesterday, it was very easy and really tasty. It falls into the minimal ingredients category. From Country Living's shorcuts. The article said that Julia Child once said "frozen spinach is certianly one of the great inventions." Well, whatever!? She said that before they came up with rinsed and bagged spinach. I reduced the oil and used lite coconut milk. A great vegan main dish recipe, or serve it with meat for a really easy home made dinner. Use a pan that's oven-proof for easy clean-up, or if you don't have one, transfer to a baking dish. Note that lentils should be cooked first and spinach thawed and drained.

I'm allergic to lentils, so I used quinoa instead. It worked out really well and the dish was still delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less curry powder.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I also like to add a bit of chopped red pepper for extra flavor.
