1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
1/4 cup Silken Tofu (63g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 Celery Stalk (40g)
1 small Yellow Onion (70g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (120g)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (240g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)

1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 tsp Smoked Paprika (2.3g)
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme (0.5g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the red lentils and chickpeas if using canned or ensure they are pre-cooked. Cut the carrot, celery, onion, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the saucepan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Incorporate the red bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir in the smoked paprika and dried thyme.
Add the cooked red lentils and chickpeas. Allow the stew to simmer for about 8-10 minutes so the flavors meld.
Gently stir in the silken tofu by breaking it slightly into the stew and then add the fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the warm, smoky infusion throughout the hearty stew.
