The original Greek recipe is rich, lemony, and satisfying but so is this version with fresh lemons, cashew cream, and hearty red lentils.

Ingredients

cooking spray
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons unsalted raw cashews
1 ½ cups chopped spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Grease a saucepan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Saute carrots, celery, and coriander until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and red lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.
Blend lemon juice and cashews together in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
Stir the cashew cream, spinach, and parsley in with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
