INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (67g)
1/4 cup canned chickpeas (40g)
100g extra-firm tofu
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60ml)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)
1/2 small onion (50g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/3 cup diced tomatoes (80g)
1 cup vegetable broth (240ml)
1 clove garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
Spices: cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt & pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened, then add garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and tofu (cubed) to the pot. Stir in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Season with cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are tender and the stew has thickened slightly.
Stir in the fresh spinach and light coconut milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the stew into a bowl and top with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt. Serve warm and enjoy!
