INGREDIENTS
60g Red Lentils
100g Chickpeas (canned, drained)
100g Firm Tofu
30g Light Coconut Milk (approx. 1/8 cup)
120g Diced Tomatoes
30g Fresh Spinach
30g Onion
1 clove Garlic
5g Olive Oil (1 tsp)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed lentils, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes to the saucepan. Stir to combine with the spices and aromatics.
Pour in about 1 cup of water or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Cube the firm tofu and add it to the stew. Stir gently to combine.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the fresh spinach. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes ensuring the spinach wilts and the tofu heats through.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, then give it a final stir before serving.
