Earthy Spinach and Lentils

I had a huge craving for spinach and lentils last night.  I created this recipe, and it was delicious!

1/2 cup diced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup dry rice
1/2 box of frozen spinach, thawed
1/4 cup brown lentils, dry
1/2 tbsp ground cumin
1 cup water
Salt, to taste
6-8 cherry tomatoes, sliced
Parmesan, to taste

Cook rice in small pot.  Over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil until golden, about ten minutes.  Add garlic, cook about 5 more minutes.  Add water, toss in lentils.  Simmer until tender; about 20 minutes.  Add thawed spinach, cumin and salt, and cook until water is absorbed.  Add rice to mixture, stir and serve immediately.  I like to top it with tomatoes and Parmesan to add earthy flavor.
