1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup dry red wine

1 packed cup baby spinach (2 ounces)

1/2 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon crème fraîche

4 lightly packed cups mâche (2 ounces) or arugula

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the red onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lentils and the wine and simmer until the wine has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crème fraîche. Add the mâche, parsley and cilantro and cook until barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
