Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp sesame oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup canned lentils, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup corn kernels
2 tbsp dry white wine
2 tbsp chicken broth
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 (10 oz) box pearl (israeli ) couscous
2 tbsp chicken broth
2 tbsp dry white wine
2 cups baby spinach leaves, stems removed
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice , or to taste
1 tsp ground black pepper , or to taste

Directions:

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until garlic starts to brown, about 5 to 8 more minutes. Mix in the lentils and cook 3 to 4 minutes to blend flavors, stirring lightly. Stir carrots and corn kernels into the mixture. Reduce heat to low. Pour in 2 tablespoons white wine and 2 tablespoons chicken broth; let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally.
Bring 2 cups chicken broth and 1/4 cup white wine to a boil in a saucepan; stir in couscous and reduce heat to low. Simmer couscous until the liquid has been absorbed and the couscous pearls are tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir 2 more tablespoons each of chicken broth and white wine into lentil mixture and lightly toss baby spinach leaves into the vegetables in the skillet until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Transfer cooked couscous to a serving bowl and gently stir the spinach-lentil mixture into couscous until thoroughly combined. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with black pepper, and lightly stir again.
