What a nice little gem!! I was looking for a different way to do up some spinach, this filled the bill. I used orange lentils. Very good and a nice change, I will be making it again and will add an onion and maybe some salsa next time. Thanks for a goodie to go with our chicken! Didn't need anything else! forgot to say I just made half a recipe; it worked out fine.

Like some others I added a few extras but the basic recipe is great. I added a spanish onion, an extra carrot and some celery at the same time as the 'original' carrot in the recipe. I also added a fresh tomato at the same time as the spinach. I'd think about adding some curry powder with the garlic next time to spice it up a little. Great served on some couscous.

I made this tonight and it was delicious. I served it with grilled chicken breasts and grilled tomatoes. The garlic makes this a lovely tasty dish. The lemon juice really added a nice freshness to the dish. There are left overs and my son and I are taking it for lunches tomorrow. This is a good healthy dish. Thank you for sharing, Bergy, I knew I was on a winner with this recipe belonging to you.

I made this, and mine came out o.k., but I think the bay and the amount of garlic may have thrown off the taste a bit too much for me. I also used frozen spinach, which I wouldn't do again...I'd definitely use fresh as the recipe instructed.
