INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (60g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
100g firm tofu
1 cup diced tomatoes (180g)
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
Pinch cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cumin, paprika, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir well to toast the spices for about 30 seconds.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then add the red lentils. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Gently fold in the chickpeas and cubed tofu. Allow the stew to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld.
Reduce heat and stir in the light coconut milk to create a creamy texture. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and serve hot.
