INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Red Lentils (200g)
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (240g)
1 medium Onion (110g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (2g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
2 cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth (480g)
Spices (Cumin, Paprika, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper) - 1 teaspoon total
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or a minimal amount of oil if desired and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and continue to sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils and spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne) to coat the onions and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, then bring to a simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Cube the extra firm tofu and add it along with the chickpeas. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to heat through.
Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve hot.
