INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Green Lentils
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (canned)
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 cup Spinach
150 grams Extra-Firm Tofu
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the green lentils. In a pot, bring water to boil then add lentils and simmer until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain if necessary.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: peel and chop the carrot into small cubes, slice the celery, dice the half onion, and mince the garlic.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked lentils and allow the stew to simmer for an additional 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Cube the extra-firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and gently stir into the stew along with the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired, and serve warm.
