Upute za pripremu
- 1.Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, grated carrot, turmeric, and cumin, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 2.Add the rinsed red lentils and the vegetable broth or water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, creating a thick mash.
- 3.While the lentils are cooking, heat a separate large pan over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just wilted. Remove from heat and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 4.Once the lentils are cooked, gently flake the drained mackerel into the pot. Stir to combine and allow it to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- 5.Remove the lentil and mackerel mash from the heat. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- 6.Divide the spiced lentil and mackerel mash between two plates and top with the wilted spinach to serve.
