Yummy Lentil Stew

I just made a really good recipe...a lentil stew! I started off making one recipe, found another, and then improvised with what I had (as I usually do). In fact, the recipes never turn out the same as the original!! Lentils are great sources of protein, fiber and other nutrients. I also added a ton of veggies, as you will see in the recipe below.

1 onion, diced
3 cups broth (any kind: chicken, beef, or veggie)
1 cup lentils (any kind, rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup bulgur
1 can tomatoes, diced
6 oz frozen chopped spinach
1 whole carrot, grated
3 T. brown sugar
4 oz red wine

In a 3 Qt pan, saute the onion until cooked and slightly browned. Remove, and set aside. Pour in broth, add lentils and bulgur, cook until tender (not too mushy). Add cooked onion and remaining ingredients to pan, and cook until thoroughly heated. Enjoy!
