INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
3 ounces extra firm tofu
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain. If using dry lentils, cook them in water until tender, then drain to yield about 1 cup of cooked lentils.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground turmeric, ground coriander, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another minute to combine the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the cooked red lentils, chickpeas, and cubed tofu. Allow the stew to simmer for 5-7 minutes so that the flavors meld.
Finally, stir in the light coconut milk to create a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve hot, enjoying the rich, spiced flavors in every spoonful.
