INGREDIENTS

1.25 cups Cooked Lentils

1/2 cup Firm Tofu (diced)

1 medium Carrot (chopped)

1 medium Red Bell Pepper (chopped)

1 cup Spinach (raw)

1 cup Diced Tomatoes

1 teaspoon Olive Oil

1/2 medium Onion (chopped)

PREPARATION

• 1

  Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

• 2

  Stir in the chopped carrot and red bell pepper, and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

• 3

  Add the diced firm tofu to the pot and gently stir to combine with the vegetables.

• 4

  Pour in the cooked lentils and diced tomatoes, then add a splash of water if needed to achieve your desired stew consistency.

• 5

  Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to fully tenderize.

• 6

  In the final 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach until just wilted.

• 7

  Season with salt, pepper, and your preferred herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the hearty, nutritious stew.
