INGREDIENTS
1 cup Red Lentils
2 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 medium Carrot
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set them aside.
Select the Instant Pot’s sauté mode and add olive oil. Once warm, add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything well to combine.
Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes before carefully switching to a quick release.
Once the pressure is fully released, open the lid and stir in the fresh spinach. Let the residual heat wilt the spinach, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and gently swirl in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin or turmeric if desired.
Ladle the stew into bowls and serve warm, enjoying a hearty, high-protein meal.
