PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped carrot and zucchini, stirring for about 3-4 minutes to soften slightly.
Mix in the chopped tomato and allow to cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cooked green lentils and chickpeas to the pot.
Cut the tofu into small cubes and gently stir it into the stew along with the mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf).
Simmer the stew for 10-12 minutes to allow flavors to meld, adjusting seasoning as needed with salt and pepper.
Just before serving, stir in the spinach and let it wilt in the warm stew.
Serve hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of herbs if desired.
