    INGREDIENTS

    2 pkg Spinach


    For lentil topping:
    1 lb ground chicken
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 sweet onion
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    8 ounces dried green lentils

Directions

DIRECTIONS
Place dry quinoa and vegetable broth in a covered pot and heat on high. After it comes to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the raw carrots and spinach. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa fluffs with a fork.
While the quinoa is cooking, in a larger pot, sauté onions in olive oil for five minutes. Then add the ground chicken, pumpkin, lentils, vegetable broth, celery, carrots, and spices. Cover and cook on medium heat for an hour or until the lentils are soft.
Spoon some of the quinoa-bean mixture into a bowl, top with the lentil mixture, and serve immediately.
