INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
4 ounces extra-firm tofu
1 clove garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils thoroughly and cook them according to package instructions until tender, then set aside.
Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or a small amount of your preferred oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, ground cumin, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the cooked lentils and tofu cubes to the pot, and gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Simmer the stew on low-medium heat for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy your warm, hearty stew as a comforting meal any time of the day.
