INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked green lentils (148g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
1/4 block extra firm tofu (85g)
1 cup diced tomatoes (240g)
1 medium carrot, diced (61g)
2 stalks celery, chopped (80g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 small onion, chopped (70g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)
2 cups vegetable broth (480g)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the green lentils if using pre-cooked lentils, or cook them separately until tender. If cooking from dry, simmer until soft and set aside.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a light drizzle of olive oil if desired (optional) to sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the diced carrot and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked green lentils and chickpeas to the pot. Let the stew simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Cube the extra firm tofu and add it along with the fresh spinach. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu heats through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and any additional herbs like thyme or bay leaves if desired.
Serve the hearty vegetable stew warm, and enjoy the comforting blend of protein-rich legumes and fresh vegetables.
