INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried Red Lentils (≈65g)
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (≈82g)
2 cups fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Light Coconut Milk
1/4 small Yellow Onion, diced
1/3 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 cup Vegetable Broth
Spices (Cumin, Salt, Pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils in cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat a small drizzle of water or a teaspoon of olive oil if desired over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the lentils start to break down, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, fresh spinach, and light coconut milk. Add cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the stew has a creamy consistency.
Meanwhile, if not pre-roasted, toss chickpeas in a small amount of spices and roast them in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 15-20 minutes until crisp.
Once the stew is ready, ladle it into a bowl and top with roasted chickpeas. Sprinkle hemp seeds on top for an extra boost of protein and crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nourishing vegetarian stew.
