INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked lentils
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup raw spinach
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the crushed tomatoes and a splash of water if needed, simmering gently to develop flavors.
Mix in the cooked lentils and chickpeas, stirring well to combine with the spiced tomato mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Allow the stew to simmer for 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Just before serving, fold in the raw spinach, letting it wilt slightly in the warmth of the stew.
Finish by swirling in the nonfat Greek yogurt to add a creamy texture. Stir gently to combine without breaking the yogurt.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, protein-rich vegetarian stew.
