INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup red lentils (67g)
1/3 cup canned chickpeas, drained (82g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (240g)
1/2 medium carrot (50g)
1 stalk celery (40g)
1/2 small onion (35g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (62g)
2 teaspoons spice mix (approx. 4g)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Dice the onion, carrot, celery, and mince the garlic.
In a medium pot, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat and sauté the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the spice mix (cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, and coriander) to toast the flavors for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot, and stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the chickpeas and reduce the heat. Allow it to simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top with a dollop of plain nonfat Greek yogurt before serving.
