INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown lentils (198g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
3 ounces firm tofu (85g)
1 medium carrot (61g)
1 celery stalk (40g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 small onion (70g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (240g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside if not already cooked. Prepare chickpeas and tofu by draining and cubing the tofu.
Chop the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic finely. Dice the tomatoes if using whole ones.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until they become translucent and aromatic.
Add the chopped carrot and celery, stirring for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the cooked lentils and chickpeas and add the tofu cubes to the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In the last two minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs (such as thyme or bay leaves) to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the hearty vegetable stew warm, enjoying a nourishing meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
