Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the water, lentils, carrot, onion, garlic, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the lentils are soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, discarding bay leaf.
- Use a paper towel to wipe out any water from the saucepan. Add oil, and return pan to medium heat. Stir in the lentils, vegetables, and spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste, and adjust for seasoning. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to serving bowls.

LENTILS AND SPINACH
This is my own adaptation of an Indian recipe. It doesn't look like much, but it is surprisingly yummy. Serve this for dinner over hot rice or a diced baked potato. Pair with carrots, cauliflower, or a fresh sliced tomato for a full meal.

Steps:
- Pat the fillets of turbot dry with paper towels. Pare the lime in strips, without the pith, and blanch the peel. Remove the pith from the rest of the lime and cut the fruit into sections. Finely shred the blanched peel.
- Put the turbot fillets on a buttered dish, arrange the lime sections on top, sprinkle the grated ginger over all and add the shredded peel. Season with salt and pepper and add the wine. Meanwhile preheat oven to 160 degrees. Bring the mixture to boil on top of the stove.
- Transfer the mixture to the oven, cover with foil and leave until done (about 10 to 15 minutes). Remove the fillets and reduce the juices on top of the stove to form the sauce.

Steps:
- Cook lentils according to package directions. These really beef up as they cook, so don't underestimate one cup of the dried lentils. However, feel free to make more--you can always save for another meal. Once cooked, drain lentils and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Meanwhile, marinate fish in white wine and lemon juice from the lemon. When the oven is heated, cook fish--it will take about 15 minutes, depending on how thick the fish fillets are. Cook to your own taste.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until just wilted. Add the tomatoes, lentils, basil and parsley and stir. Cook until warmed through, about one minute. Add salt and pepper to taste; you can also add lemon juice at this point.
- Serve by placing lentil mixture on a plate and putting fish on top.
