100g Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot
1 Celery Stalk
1 small Onion
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 cup Vegetable Broth

PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked green lentils and chickpeas if using canned. Cut the firm tofu into small cubes.
Chop the carrot, celery, and small onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, add a splash of water or a teaspoon of olive oil if desired, then sauté the onion, garlic, celery, and carrot over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cubed tofu and stir gently for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes along with the dried thyme and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the cooked lentils and chickpeas. Let the stew simmer for 10-15 minutes so that the flavors meld together.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the stew.
Remove the bay leaf before serving, adjust seasoning if needed, and enjoy your hearty Herb-Spiced Lentil and Vegetable Stew.
