Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat.
2. Finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, thinly slice the celery, and cut the peeled carrot into small bite-sized pieces.
3. Add the vegetables and stir. After about 5 minutes, when they are lightly softened, add the paprika, cumin and saffron and stir briefly.
4. Add the grated tomatoes, raise the heat, stir and then simmer.
5. Rinse the red lentils in a fine sieve under water, removing any debris.
6. When the tomatoes have slightly thickened (3-4 minutes), add the lentils, water and bay leaf and stir. Bring to a boil, cover and lower to low heat.
7. Cook until the lentils are soft, about 15 minutes in the creator's test (check the package instructions for your lentils).
8. Stir in the spinach and cook until lightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper, add the lemon juice, mix once more and remove from the heat.
9. Serve in shallow bowls topped with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and chopped parsley.
