INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils (198g)
150g firm tofu
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas (55g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 medium carrot (61g)
1 celery stalk (40g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
1/2 medium onion (55g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
2 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot. Stir and let cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and add in the bay leaf and dried thyme. Stir to combine the flavors.
Add the cooked green lentils, cooked chickpeas, and crumbled firm tofu to the pot. Stir gently to mix all ingredients.
Pour in about 1 to 1.5 cups of water (or low-sodium vegetable broth if preferred) to create a light stew consistency. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, letting all the flavors meld together.
In the final minute, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutrient-packed vegetable lentil stew.
