INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 medium onion
1 clove garlic
Spices: cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt, pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or low-calorie cooking spray. Sauté the finely chopped 1/4 medium onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Stir in 1/4 cup light coconut milk and add spices (1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp paprika, a pinch of salt and pepper) to taste.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the lentils are cooked, stir in 1/2 cup drained chickpeas and 1 cup fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Remove from heat, and serve hot with a dollop of 1/4 cup Greek yogurt on top for added creaminess.
Adjust seasoning if necessary and enjoy your nourishing Creamy Spiced Red Lentil Stew.
