Spinach,Green Beans and Red Lentil Saute


Sometimes I try to make a dish where I try to combine 2 or 3 vegetables or greens to make it healthier. This time  I tried all the different combinations and it turned out good. It's always healthier to include greens in our food at least few times a week.

Ingredients:
-------------
1/4 cup Red Lentils
1 pkg Frozen Spinach or fresh
1 pkg French Cut Beans frozen
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2-3 Garlic pods peeled and chopped
1/4 tsp Nutmeg powder
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp Olive Oil

Method:
----------
1. In a pan add oil, when it's hot enough add the garlic, lentils, and beans frozen, so that u don't need to add more water for the lentils to cook.
2. Cover and cook until the lentils and the beans are almost cooked for about 10 mins.
3. Now add the spinach and nutmeg powder and again cover n cook for abot 2-3 mins.
4. Now add salt and red pepper flakes and stir it again.
5. Serve this as a side dish or with roti or just eat it like that.
