INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils
3/4 cup cooked green peas
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
50 grams extra-firm tofu, cubed
2 tablespoons light coconut milk
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the lentils are soft but still hold their shape.
While the lentils cook, heat a non-stick pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the ground cumin and turmeric to the onions and garlic, stirring for about 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
Once the lentils have cooked, stir them into the onion and spice mixture. Add the light coconut milk and gently mix to achieve a creamy consistency.
Fold in the cooked green peas and carefully add the cubed tofu. Allow the stew to warm through for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the creamy lentil stew over the cooked brown rice. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this hearty vegan meal.
