INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked red lentils (~150g)

0.33 cup light coconut milk (~80ml)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup diced tomatoes

PREPARATION
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add the 0.75 cup of cooked red lentils, 0.5 cup chickpeas, and 100g of cubed tofu to the pan, gently stirring to coat with the spices.
Pour in the light coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
