A vibrant, aromatic dish featuring tender chickpeas and silky tofu simmered in a luxuriously spiced, light coconut sauce with fresh spinach and diced tomatoes. This wholesome creation is perfect for a nutritious lunch or dinner and strikes a delightful balance between comforting warmth and bright, invigorating flavors.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
200 grams extra firm tofu
2 cups fresh spinach
1/3 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the teaspoon of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika, letting the spices toast lightly for about 30 seconds.
Add the drained chickpeas and carefully cube the tofu before adding it into the pan. Sauté for another 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Pour in the light coconut milk and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine and form a cohesive sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes so that the tofu absorbs the spices and the sauce slightly thickens.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt from the warmth of the sauce, stirring gently.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Serve warm, and enjoy this wholesome, flavorful dish as a balanced meal option.
