INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Brown Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
100g Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 Celery Stalk (40g)
1 medium Tomato (123g)
1/2 medium Onion (55g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
1 cup raw Spinach (30g)
1 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth (240g)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned varieties, otherwise prepare them by boiling until tender.
Press the firm tofu to remove any excess moisture. Cut it into cubes.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the carrot, celery, and tomato into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or low-calorie cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the carrot, celery, and tomato to the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the tofu cubes, cooked lentils, and chickpeas. Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth.
Bring the stew to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
In the final minutes, stir in the raw spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, nutritious stew.
