Pinjur Spinach Dal

So last night I wanted to make Dal and I was 'certain' I had diced tomatoes or stewed, even, but BOY was I wrong!  So I stuck with the Red Lentil and Dal 'idea' BUT I combined a few countries flavors for a 'fusion' of sorts and it turned out REALLY good!

I think I will call this Pinjur Spinach Dal.

Pinjur is a spicy relish form and is commonly used as a summer spread. (AKA Pinđur) is commonly prepared in Bosnia, Serbia and Macedonia.

I recently found a large jar at Big Lots marked VEGAN for a very good price so I couldn't resist trying it.  I've had this same company's Avjar in the past, too!

Ingredients:
peppers, eggplant, onions, tomato puree, vegetable oil, garlic, salt, spices.

This is super tasty - I'm glad I only used a half cup in my dish so I have more left to eat in other ways in the near future, too!

For this recipe I used the following:

1 C Cooked Red Lentils
1 Onion
1 T Wildtree Garam Masala
1/4 C Earth Balance
1/2 C Pinjur
1/4 C Water
1/2 C Spinach
1 T Minced Garlic
