INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked lentils (~300g)
0.5 cup cooked chickpeas (~82g)
1 medium carrot, chopped (61g)
1 celery stalk, chopped (40g)
1/2 small onion, diced (50g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned varieties. Prepare all vegetables by washing and chopping the carrot, celery, onion, and spinach. Mince the garlic.
Heat 1/2 tsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant.
Add the chopped carrot and celery to the pot and continue to sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and ground cumin, allowing the flavors to meld for another minute.
Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas along with about 1 cup of water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, letting the vegetables soften and the flavors deepen.
Stir in the fresh spinach and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve hot. Enjoy your hearty, nutritious stew!
