INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (125g)
100g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Chopped Carrot (65g)
1/2 cup Chopped Celery (50g)
1/2 cup Chopped Onion (80g)
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (124g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 Bay Leaf
1 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or a light drizzle of olive oil over medium heat (if using oil, use minimal amount to keep calories in check).
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cubed tofu, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Mix well.
Toss in the bay leaf and cumin, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
Pour in about 1 to 1.5 cups of water (or low-sodium vegetable broth if preferred) and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer for 15-20 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the vegetables become tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking until just wilted.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasonings as needed and serve warm.
