INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (approx. 60g)
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (approx. 120g)
1/2 cup diced firm tofu (approx. 125g)
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup spinach
1/4 medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry red lentils under cold water.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot and continue to sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the rinsed lentils along with the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils begin to soften.
Add the canned chickpeas and diced tofu, stirring gently to combine. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
Fold in the spinach and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
