Creamy Lentil and Vegetable Stew with Cottage Cheese
A hearty red lentil stew simmered with carrots and aromatic spices, finished with a swirl of creamy cottage cheese for a velvety protein boost.
INGREDIENTS
0.4 cup Dry Red Lentils
0.5 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 cup Diced Carrots
0.25 cup Diced Yellow Onion
1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
1 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
0.5 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
0.5 teaspoon Ground Cumin
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and carrots until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the ground turmeric and cumin, allowing the spices to toast for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the fresh baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in half of the cottage cheese to create a creamy texture.
Serve the stew in a bowl topped with the remaining cottage cheese for a fresh, protein-rich finish.
