INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked Chickpeas
1/2 cup cooked Lentils
100g Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot
2 stalks Celery
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Spinach
1.5 cups Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
1 Bay Leaf
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas and lentils if using canned or pre-cooked varieties.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the carrots and celery and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the chickpeas, lentils, and tofu. Let the stew simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to tenderize.
In the final few minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach so it wilts nicely.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove the bay leaf.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
