INGREDIENTS
1 cup Navy Beans (cooked)
1/3 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained, rinsed)
3 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot (chopped)
1 stalk Celery (chopped)
1 small Onion (diced)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach (raw)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Vegetable Broth
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas if not already done. Rinse the cooked navy beans if needed.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the tofu cubes to the pan and gently sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to brown slightly.
Stir in the navy beans and chickpeas, then add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes allowing the flavors to meld. If desired, use a fork to slightly mash some of the beans for a thicker consistency.
Just before serving, fold in the raw spinach, allowing it to wilt from the residual heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty cassoulet.
