INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked lentils (150g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (125g)
6 oz extra firm tofu (170g)
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 small onion
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped kale
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth
1 clove garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils and set them aside if using pre-cooked or follow package instructions to cook until tender.
Dice the tofu into cubes. Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas if using canned.
Chop the carrot, celery, onion, and kale. Dice the tomatoes if not pre-diced. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tofu and chickpeas to the pot, stirring gently.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the cooked lentils, diced tomatoes, and chopped kale. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the stew to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together and the kale softens.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of the hearty vegetable lentil stew.
