INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils (raw)
150g Diced Tomatoes (canned)
50g Carrot, diced
50g Onion, diced
50g Red Bell Pepper, diced
40g Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
50g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and red bell pepper to the saucepan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the ground cumin and ground turmeric, allowing the spices to toast slightly for 1 minute.
Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juices, then add the red lentils. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Add 2 cups of water (or a light vegetable broth if preferred) to the saucepan. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have begun to break down, stirring occasionally.
In the final 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach so it wilts into the stew.
Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top each serving with a swirl of nonfat Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, creamy spiced red lentil stew.
