INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry red lentils (~66g)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 medium carrot
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 cup fresh spinach
3 oz nonfat Greek yogurt
1.5 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp spice mix (cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cayenne)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or broth over medium heat and sauté the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and grated ginger until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and the spice mix into the pot. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the light coconut milk and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt and the stew to become creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritionally rich Creamy Spiced Red Lentil Stew.
