INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry Red Lentils (~70g)
200g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Chickpeas (Canned, drained ~82g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (Canned, ~123g)
1/2 medium Onion (~50g)
1 medium Carrot (~61g)
1 cup Spinach (raw, ~30g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Vegetable Broth (240 ml)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils under cool water and set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then dice into 1-inch cubes.
Dice the onion and carrot, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the spinach.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or a light drizzle of oil if desired over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and carrot until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cumin, turmeric, and paprika, stirring for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Stir in the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat slightly and let the stew cook for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Gently add the cubed tofu and chickpeas. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld and the tofu warm through.
Fold in the spinach at the end, allowing it to wilt just before removing the pot from heat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
