INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Brown Lentils
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas
75 grams Extra-Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot
2 Celery Stalks
1 small Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1 cup Spinach
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils and chickpeas if needed, and set aside their cooked forms.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Cube the tofu into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot along with the lentils and chickpeas.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes so that the flavors meld. If needed, add a splash of water for the desired consistency.
Just before serving, toss in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the stew.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary, then ladle into bowls and enjoy the hearty, nourishing stew.
