INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (~100g)
1/4 cup Full-Fat Coconut Milk (~57g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (~122g)
1/4 medium Yellow Onion (~40g)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Hemp Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
A pinch Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or a splash of broth over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Toast the spices for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils are soft and have broken down, stirring occasionally.
Once the lentils are tender, stir in the coconut milk and fresh spinach. Let the stew heat through until the spinach wilts.
Remove the pot from heat and swirl in the Greek yogurt to add creaminess.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of hemp seeds for an extra boost of protein and a nutty finish.
