Spinach and Black Beluga Lentils Soup

Black beluga lentils

A quick and easy recipe for a wholesome, satisfying meal. You could use puy lentils instead but these beluga lentils just look so wonderful in the pan and add a real robust flavour.

A mug of black beluga beans
2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
Packet of spinach (roughly chopped)
500ml vegetable stock
Olive oil
Seasoning

1. Fry the garlic in a little olive oil on a low heat. Just enough to get those lovely garlicky flavours out.
   
2. Add the dried black beluga lentils and give a quick stir around with the garlic.
