INGREDIENTS
80g dried red lentils
80g canned chickpeas, drained
1 small onion
1 medium carrot
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned, no salt)
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1/4 cup light coconut milk
100g nonfat plain Greek yogurt (for topping)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dried red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Dice the small onion and medium carrot, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or broth over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, and ground coriander, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed red lentils, drained chickpeas, and diced tomatoes.
Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and light coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let it cook on low-medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the stew has thickened.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the stew into a bowl and top with a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt before serving.
