Nutritional values
Lentils add a significant source of protein and fiber to this dish, while the fresh spinach provides valuable iron and the tomatoes provide lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
This is a perfect vegetarian main dish. However if you'd like to add a bit more protein, this dish is great with grilled chicken as well.
