Creamy lentils with spinach and carrot

Some lentils full of strength, but with a special touch: cream lentils with spinach and carrots. Its main ingredients are a source of energy and vitamins for our body. It is a very simple and delicious recipe that will give us energy and vitality to carry out all the tasks that await us during the day. But we will give you a creamy and special touch by adding a splash of cream in the end. Incredible!

It is also very simple to make, because the lentils in Thermomix are a very grateful recipe. You pretty much put everything in the glass and let her do the work for you. So, in this type of recipes we must always bear in mind that the machine will be working for about 45 minutes, during which time will not stop generating steam and heat. What can we do to harness that energy? Well use our dear and sometimes so forgotten, varoma bowl and tray.

For this reason, we advise you that whenever you put your thermomix to cook for at least 20 minutes in a row, keep in mind that you can cook other dishes at the same time (meats, vegetables, eggs, puddings ...) that you can use in other preparations and during the week . I leave you here our section of varoma kitchen so that you get the most out of your machine.
