INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup red lentils, cooked (115g)
0.25 cup light coconut milk (60g)
1 medium carrot
1 small sweet potato (100g)
0.25 cup chopped onion (40g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
0.5 cup cooked chickpeas (125g)
100g firm tofu
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
Spices to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the sweet potato and carrot into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, rinse red lentils and add them to a pot with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess water if necessary.
In a large saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked red lentils, roasted vegetables, and light coconut milk to the saucepan. Stir in spices such as cumin, turmeric, and additional paprika. Let the stew simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Cube the tofu and gently stir it into the stew along with the cooked chickpeas. Allow everything to heat through for another 3-5 minutes without heavy stirring to keep tofu intact.
Finally, stir in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed creamy coconut lentil stew with roasted vegetables!
