INGREDIENTS
1 cup dry red lentils (200g)
150g firm tofu
2 cups fresh spinach
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
1 medium fresh tomato
1/3 cup light coconut milk
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into small cubes.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger. Chop the tomato into small pieces.
In a large pot, heat a splash of water or vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the ground turmeric, cumin, and coriander, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the rinsed red lentils and chopped tomato to the pot, stirring to combine with the spices.
Pour in the light coconut milk and about 2 cups of water, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the lentils to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender.
Gently fold in the cubed tofu and fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tofu warms through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjust spices if needed, and serve warm.
