INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (200g)
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas (55g)
1/2 cup cooked basmati rice (105g)
100g firm tofu
1 medium carrot, diced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp mixed spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned varieties.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add diced carrot and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Crumble the firm tofu into the skillet and sprinkle with the mixed spices. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas to the pan, stirring to evenly distribute the spices and vegetables.
Fold in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, reheat or fluff your cooked basmati rice if needed.
Assemble your bowl by layering the fluffy basmati rice at the base and topping it with the lentil and vegetable mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed meal.
