INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils (~198g)
3/4 cup cooked brown rice (~150g)
100g firm tofu
1/2 medium yellow onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils and cook them in water or low sodium vegetable broth until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
Cook the brown rice according to package instructions until fluffy. Measure out 3/4 cup cooked rice.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1-cm cubes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced half onion and minced garlic (or garlic clove finely chopped) and sauté until translucent.
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and lightly sauté until they start to brown on the edges.
Stir in the cooked lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Sprinkle in the ground cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.
Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes so that the flavors meld together.
Finally, fold in the cooked brown rice and gently mix until everything is well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
