Moroccan Lentils

 This recipe comes from Cafe Morocco by Anissa Helou, where it's called lentils with swiss chard. Basically it's brown/green/"normal" lentils cooked with greens and herbs and a nice spice blend. It's super easy, too, as there's no saute step, it's all just boiled together.  

Moroccan Lentils

1.5c lentils

1lb greens

3oz cilantro (this is about 1 bunch in a store)

1 onion

4T evoo

1.5t cumin

1t paprika

1/2 t pepper 

~1/2 t salt

Cook lentils with 1Q water for 15 min, add greens, cilantro, onion and cook 5-10 more min, covered. Add evoo and spices and cook another 10 min covered - till lentils tender. Add salt and lemon juice at end.
