INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Red Lentils (198g)
130 grams Firm Tofu
2 cups Fresh Spinach (60g)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk (120g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (90g)
1/4 medium Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 teaspoon Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 cup Vegetable Broth
PREPARATION
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pan, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Incorporate the cooked red lentils into the sauce and stir well to combine.
Dice the firm tofu into cubes and gently add them to the curry. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
