Our Creamy Cumin Lentils with Baby Spinach will add a taste of indulgence to your sides. We’ve taken lentils, given them a kick with cumin and added soured cream for that extra decadent touch. Finished with tender, wilted baby spinach and ready in just 20 minutes, it’s a special side that both vegetarians and meat-eaters will love.
