INGREDIENTS
75g Red Lentils
150g Extra Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 medium Yellow Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Fresh Ginger (minced)
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear and set aside.
Press the tofu lightly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then cube it.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat until fragrant and softened.
Add the ground turmeric and cumin, stirring to toast the spices for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, then pour in the light coconut milk and add about 1 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have broken down, stirring occasionally.
Gently stir in the cubed tofu and fresh spinach, and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional spinach or fresh herbs if desired.
