A warming, nutritious lentil stew loaded with tender lentils, protein-packed tofu, and a medley of fresh vegetables simmered in a savory vegetable broth. This hearty meal offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors, making it an ideal choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried green lentils (approx. 65g)
200g extra firm tofu
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned, no salt added)
1 small carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup raw spinach
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the dried green lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
In a medium pot, heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lentils and diced tomatoes, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
While the stew simmers, cut the extra firm tofu into cubes. Once the lentils are nearly done, gently stir in the tofu and raw spinach.
Allow the stew to simmer for an extra 5 minutes, letting the spinach wilt and the tofu warm through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, nourishing stew.
