IRON SOUP (SPINACH AND LENTIL WITH A PUNCH)
As an anemic, I try to keep my iron up by eating the right food, rather than supplementation. This soup is a variant on a basic spinach and red lentil soup (thanks, English_Rose!) with extra ingredients chosen for their high iron content. If you love Indian food, you'll love this soup! I happened to make it after having boiled a beet, so instead of vegetable stock, I used the water from the beet, which added a nice extra flavour. (NB: an iron-rich diet should be undertaken with advice from a professional.)

CURRIED SPINACH AND LENTIL BAKE
Made this yesterday, it was very easy and really tasty. It falls into the minimal ingredients category. From Country Living's shorcuts. The article said that Julia Child once said "frozen spinach is certianly one of the great inventions." Well, whatever!? She said that before they came up with rinsed and bagged spinach. I reduced the oil and used lite coconut milk. A great vegan main dish recipe, or serve it with meat for a really easy home made dinner. Use a pan that's oven-proof for easy clean-up, or if you don't have one, transfer to a baking dish. Note that lentils should be cooked first and spinach thawed and drained.
