INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry red lentils
1/3 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
100 grams firm tofu
1 medium carrot
1 small zucchini
1 medium tomato
1/2 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside. Drain the canned chickpeas and cut the firm tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Dice the carrot, zucchini, tomato, and onion. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrot and zucchini, cooking for 3-4 minutes.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu to the pot along with the vegetable broth.
Mix in the smoked paprika and dried thyme, then season with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld.
In the final 5 minutes of cooking, gently stir in the diced tomato so it retains some texture.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
