Categories: May 1995
Yield: 1 servings

2 tb Olive oil
2 lg Garlic cloves; chopped
3 c Canned vegetable broth
1 c Lentils; rinsed, picked over
8 oz Red-skinned potatoes; cut
-into 1/2-inch

1 Lemon

Heat olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and
stir 30 seconds. Add vegetable broth and lentils; bring to boil. Reduce

potatoes and lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, grate 1/2 teaspoon peel from lemon; squeeze enough juice from

cayenne to stew. Cover and simmer stew until spinach wilts and is cooked
through, about 2 minutes. Mix in mint. Season to taste with salt and

low heat before serving.)

Spoon stew into large soup bowls. Sprinkle feta cheese over, if desired.
