Curried Crockpot lentils with spinach

Curried Crockpot lentils with spinach
Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
* 1 cup lentils, rinsed
* 1 cup rice
* 1 10-ounce package chopped spinach or other greens (I used frozen)
* 4 cups water
* 4 chicken or veggie bullion cubes
* salt to taste

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker/Crock Pot. Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, or until rice and lentils are tender but not mushy. Stir often (may stick to the sides).

Note: you can also try adding peas and carrots or, as another variation, try barley instead of rice
