Directions:

Sort and rinse lentils.
Cook in unsalted water, enough to cover plus one inch, over medium heat until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain liquid, reserving 1 cup.
Add back 1/2 cup liquid and spinach leaves, cover pot and cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and mixed into lentils, about 3 minutes.
Add remainder of reserved liquid, lemon juice, olive oil and dried mint.
Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, 5-10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
