INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils
3/4 cup cooked chickpeas
1 medium carrot
1 celery stalk
1 small yellow onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 cup vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked green lentils and chickpeas if using canned varieties, or prepare them ahead of time by cooking adequately.
Dice the carrot, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic clove.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir well.
Mix in the cooked green lentils and chickpeas, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer for 10-12 minutes, so the flavors meld together.
Add fresh spinach and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting, hearty flavors of this nutrient-packed stew.
