INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown lentils
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
100g firm tofu
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup raw spinach
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned versions, or cook them as needed until tender.
Dice the carrot, celery, onion, and tomatoes. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and celery and sauté for a few more minutes to begin softening the vegetables.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and add the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cube the tofu and gently add it along with the cooked lentils and chickpeas. Simmer the stew for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
