INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown lentils (200g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
1/4 block firm tofu (100g)
1 medium carrot, diced (61g)
1 stalk celery, diced (40g)
1/2 medium onion, chopped (55g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (124g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas. Dice the carrot, celery, and half an onion into small pieces.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a tiny amount of olive oil if desired, then sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and celery to the pan, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Let them cook together for another 2 minutes.
Mix in the cooked brown lentils and chickpeas. Add a splash of water or vegetable broth if the stew appears too thick.
Dice the firm tofu into cubes and gently fold into the stew. Continue simmering for 5-7 minutes until all the flavors meld.
In the last minute of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and serve warm.
