I made this the night before last and wow, it’s delicious! And still tasted good the next day. The spinach gives it a super texture. Thanks so much for sharing, Niamh!

I don’t know how I could go low carb either. No pasta, no potatoes, no [insert-most-nice-things]. Enjoy! A little does go really far.

I don’t know! A friend says she associates them with overdoes on sludge during the poverty of her student days. A crying shame I say.

Hello Martin! The croutons were really nice. I was really happy with this. Do try it and let me know what you think.

I could never go low-carb because I’d miss the croutons too much. I’m always on the prowl for new things to do with harissa. I have loads of hot chiles coming ripe in the garden, plus a smoker just begging to be used for something other than portabellas and tofu (vegetarian, we are) so I think I’m going to make some from scratch. As I recall, a little goes a helluva long way, so this recipe is going on the list of ways to use it up.

ooh loving the lentils too. I agree, why so underrated? People associate them with health food fad diets and Neil from the Young Ones I guess. I;m loving the harissa croutons.

this looks utterly delicious and I’m totally with you regarding the humble lentil. I must give this a try as I have some spinach that needs to be used up. I love the fact that it won’t break the bank to make this – the perfect pre-pay day treat!

This looks fantastic! I’ve grown into lentils, I never used to like them, but I’ve grown to love the way they take to spice, and, as Lizzie wonderfully puts it, the way they “break down into a gorgeous sludge”, awesome!

I need to stock up on chillies again, once I do, this will be cooked, the croutons in particular, in fact, I might just make them to nibble on…

This looks delicious – can imagine eating it on one of our delightfully rainy summers nights! Thanks for the recipe.

Ooooh that sounds great! I love lentils, especially split red ones, as they break down into gorgeous sludge. Yum.
