INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 stalk Celery (40g)
1/2 medium Yellow Onion (55g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
1 cup Baby Spinach (30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 cup Vegetable Broth (240g)
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the cooked lentils if using canned, or cook dried lentils until tender following package instructions.
Press the extra-firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
Chop the carrot, celery, and yellow onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the chopped carrot and celery to the pot, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and dried thyme. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked lentils and tofu cubes, stirring well to combine. Simmer for another 8-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Just before serving, fold in the baby spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy your nourishing, hearty stew.
