INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (drained)

1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/4 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
200g firm tofu
1 large egg
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric, toasting the spices for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and drained chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Dice the firm tofu into small cubes and gently stir it into the stew. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a separate small pan, poach or lightly fry the egg until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stew in a bowl and top with the egg for extra creaminess and protein.
Enjoy your hearty spiced chickpea and tomato stew as a nourishing meal any time of day.
