INGREDIENTS
1 cup dried Lentils (approx. 200g)
3 ounces Tempeh (approx. 85g)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (240g)
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Spinach
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dried lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Dice the carrot, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic.
Cut the tempeh into small cubes.
In a large pot, warm the teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the tempeh cubes until lightly browned on all sides.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the carrots and celery, allowing them to soften for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Sprinkle the dried thyme and ground cumin along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired before serving. Enjoy your hearty, nutrient-packed bowl!
