INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
0.75 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (170g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
0.5 cup Canned Diced Tomatoes (124g)
0.25 medium Yellow Onion (35g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils if using canned or prepare dried lentils according to package instructions until tender.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh spinach.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, then add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in the cooked lentils and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the stew.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the low-fat cottage cheese to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the stew warm, enjoying the harmony of creamy cottage cheese, tender lentils, and fresh spinach.
