INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
1 cup diced tomatoes (240g)
1 medium carrot (61g)
1 celery stalk (40g)
1 small onion (70g)
1 cup spinach (30g)
1 garlic clove (3g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if not already prepared.
Dice the carrot, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and stir in the cooked lentils and chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the stew to simmer for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together, optionally adding water or vegetable broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and any additional herbs like thyme or bay leaf if desired.
