INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (approx 100g)
1/4 cup canned Chickpeas, drained (approx 40g)
1 medium Carrot, diced
1 stalk Celery, chopped
1 cup Spinach
1 medium Tomato, chopped
1 small Onion, diced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Mixed Herbs

Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and chopped celery to the pot, stirring for about 3-4 minutes to soften slightly.
Stir in the rinsed red lentils and chickpeas, followed by the chopped tomato and mixed herbs.
Pour in about 2 cups of water (or low-sodium vegetable broth if preferred) and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach until just wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm and enjoy this nourishing, herb-spiced stew.
