INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils
1/2 cup canned chickpeas, drained
100 grams extra-firm tofu, cubed
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 small carrot, diced
1 cup raw spinach
1/4 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup vegetable broth
Herbs and spices (thyme, oregano, bay leaf) to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, lightly sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and bell pepper in a splash of water or a minimal amount of your preferred oil until they begin to soften.
Add the rinsed red lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow the lentils to cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and chickpeas. Add dried thyme, oregano, and a bay leaf to infuse the stew with fragrant herbs.
Gently fold in the cubed tofu and raw spinach. Let the stew simmer for an additional 5 minutes so that the flavors meld and the spinach wilts.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, and enjoy this nutrient-dense, hearty stew for a balanced meal.
