INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
100g firm tofu
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (123g)
1/4 medium yellow onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (2g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Allow the spices to toast lightly for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, stirring gently to combine.
Fold in the cooked red lentils, cooked chickpeas, and gently cubed firm tofu. Mix well to ensure the flavors meld.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the tofu absorbs the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If a thinner consistency is desired, add a splash of water.
Remove the stew from heat and stir in most of the fresh chopped cilantro, reserving a few leaves for garnish.
Serve warm and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Enjoy the creamy, spiced flavors!
