INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils
100 grams firm tofu
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas
1 medium carrot
1 medium parsnip
1/2 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils if necessary. Cube the firm tofu and set aside.
Peel and chop the carrot and parsnip into bite-size pieces. Dice the half onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, add a splash of water or broth (instead of oil) and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped carrots and parsnip to the pot. Stir for 3-4 minutes to lightly soften the vegetables.
Mix in the tomato paste and dried thyme, allowing the paste to blend well with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the cooked lentils, tofu cubes, and chickpeas. Add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the root vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle into bowls and enjoy your hearty, warming stew.
