INGREDIENTS
50g dry Red Lentils
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the extra-firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the diced onion in a splash of water or a minimal amount of oil if desired, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and ground turmeric, toasting the spices lightly.
Add the red lentils, tofu cubes, and chickpeas to the pan, stirring to coat with the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and light coconut milk, and add about 1/2 cup of water to help the lentils cook. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving warm.
