Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3–5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 2
Add the carrots and about 1 tablespoon of the Moroccan spice blend. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the remaining spice blend, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, water, and red lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender. Add extra water if a thinner consistency is desired and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Stir in the spinach during the final few minutes of cooking until wilted.
Step 6
Serve hot garnished with fresh cilantro and chili flakes, if desired.
