INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried Red Lentils (approx. 100g)
3/4 cup cooked Chickpeas (approx. 125g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (approx. 120g)
1 small Carrot (approx. 50g)
1 cup fresh Spinach (approx. 30g)
1/4 medium Onion (approx. 40g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Vegetable Broth (240g)
100g Firm Tofu
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Turmeric
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils well under running water and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped carrot. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric, stirring for about 30 seconds until the spices become fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes. Mix well so that the spices coat the ingredients evenly.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Cube the firm tofu and gently stir it into the stew along with the spinach. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the tofu and wilt the spinach.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a final stir and serve warm.
