INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Lentils (200g)
1/3 cup canned Chickpeas (82g)
1/2 cup firm Tofu (124g)
1 small Onion (70g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 celery stalk (40g)
1 medium red Bell Pepper (120g)
1 cup fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup diced Tomatoes (124g)
2 cups vegetable Broth (480g)
1 tsp smoked Paprika
1 tsp ground Cumin
1 tbsp fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas and pat them dry.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the small onion, chop the carrot, celery, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and roughly chop the spinach.
Cube the firm tofu and set aside.
In a large pot, combine the cooked lentils, chickpeas, tofu, onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth.
Add smoked paprika, ground cumin, and fresh thyme. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to gently cook for about 20-25 minutes so that the flavors meld and the vegetables become tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
