INGREDIENTS
50g dry red lentils
200g firm tofu
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 cup spinach
1/4 medium onion
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat a medium pot over medium heat and add a splash of water or a touch of broth if needed. Sauté the diced quarter onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika to toast the spices lightly for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
Cube the tofu into bite-sized pieces and gently stir them into the stew.
Allow the stew to simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld. Stir occasionally.
Just before serving, fold in the fresh spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting, hearty flavors.
