INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (120g)
1/2 cup cooked lentils (100g)
150g firm tofu
200g mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach, onions)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (240g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Garlic and herbs (to taste)
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the chickpeas; set aside.
Rinse the lentils if using pre-cooked lentils or prepare them according to package instructions until tender.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Prepare the mixed vegetables by dicing carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach, and onions into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and a pinch of thyme, stirring until fragrant.
Add the onions and cook until they begin to soften.
Incorporate the diced carrots and zucchini; sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the chickpeas, lentils, and tofu cubes to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Mix in the tomatoes and spinach along with a bay leaf and additional thyme as desired. Let the stew simmer for 10-12 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove the bay leaf, and serve warm.
