INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (82g)
100g firm tofu
1/4 cup dry red lentils (50g)
1/3 cup light coconut milk (80g)
1/3 cup frozen peas (45g)
1/4 medium yellow onion (40g)
1 garlic clove (3g)
1 tsp fresh ginger (2g)
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.
Heat a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add in the curry powder and stir for about 30 seconds to toast the spices lightly.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and add the rinsed red lentils. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to the pot. Stir and let the stew simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the red lentils begin to soften.
Cube the firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and add them to the stew. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Fold in the frozen peas and fresh spinach, letting them heat through and wilt slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the stew warm, savoring the creamy, comforting flavors melded with the aromatic spices.
