# Étapes à suivre:
01 -
Rinse the quinoa and lentils under cold water to remove any bitterness. Drain well.
02 -
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
03 -
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the rinsed quinoa and lentils to the pot, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables and spices.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the quinoa and lentils are cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
06 -
Once cooked, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins, chopped walnuts or pecans, and maple syrup or honey (if using). Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
