INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup red lentils (133g)
1/4 cup chickpeas (41g)
1/4 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion (80g)
1/2 cup chopped carrot (65g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (120g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and drain.
In a pot, heat a splash of water or a light cooking spray over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, carrot, and garlic until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cumin powder, turmeric, and chili powder, stirring for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
Stir in the red lentils, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk.
Pour in about 1 to 1.5 cups of water (or vegetable broth) to achieve your desired stew consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors have melded together.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Once the stew reaches a creamy consistency, remove from heat and serve warm.
