INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Green Lentils (approx 100g)
200g Firm Tofu
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 medium Carrot
1 Celery Stalk
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Spinach
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils and add them to a pot with 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
While the lentils are cooking, drain and cube the firm tofu. Set aside.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into small pieces, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the cooked lentils and tofu cubes to the pot. Simmer everything together for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In the last minute of cooking, gently fold in the spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
