INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (150g)
0.5 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
150g firm tofu
0.5 cup broccoli, chopped (45g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
1 small tomato (90g)
0.25 small onion (25g)
1 cup vegetable broth (240g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (4.5g)
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the broccoli is roasting, heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add a small bit of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the cumin and paprika, cooking for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Add the cooked lentils and chickpeas to the pot, stirring to combine with the spices and aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Cube the tofu and gently stir it into the stew along with the spinach and chopped tomato. Continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the tomato softens slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the stew in a bowl, topping it with the roasted broccoli. Enjoy this comforting, protein-packed meal!
