INGREDIENTS
80g Dry Lentils
100g Canned Chickpeas
1 cup Spinach (30g)
1 small Carrot (50g)
1 stalk Celery (50g)
1/3 medium Onion (50g)
1/2 small Tomato (50g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
PREPARATION
Rinse the dry lentils under cold water and pick out any debris.
In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, diced onion, chopped carrot, and celery. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lentils, drained chickpeas, diced tomato, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Stir in dried thyme and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Five minutes before the end of cooking, add the spinach and allow it to wilt into the stew.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.
