INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup cooked basmati rice
3 ounces firm tofu, cubed
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp lemon juice
Spices (cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the lentils, then cook them in water until tender if not pre-cooked.
Cook the basmati rice according to package instructions until it is fluffy.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
In a non-stick pan, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened. Add the tofu cubes and lightly brown them.
Stir in the tomato chunks and a pinch of spices including cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors meld for a few minutes.
Add the cooked lentils to the pan and gently mix with the tofu and vegetables. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach until just wilted and drizzle with lemon juice.
Serve the spiced lentils and tofu mixture over a bed of fluffy basmati rice. Adjust seasonings as needed and enjoy warm.
