INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry red lentils (approx 100g)
1/4 cup canned chickpeas (approx 40g)
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 small onion
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, diced carrots, and sliced celery, and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), chickpeas, and vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
In the last 5 minutes, stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt.
Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutritious stew.
