Hearty Chickpea and Vegetable Curry
Aromatic curry simmered with protein-rich chickpeas, red lentils, and seared tofu for a velvety texture that warms the soul.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz extra firm tofu
0.33 cup chickpeas
0.13 cup red lentils
0.25 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion
1 tbsp fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp curry powder
0.5 tsp turmeric
1 cup vegetable broth
2 cups baby spinach
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture for 15 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and sear the tofu cubes until golden and crispy on all sides.
Add the diced yellow onion, minced fresh ginger, and garlic to the pot, sautéing until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to toast for one minute to release their essential oils.
Pour in the vegetable broth, dry red lentils, and chickpeas, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the lentils have softened and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in the baby spinach until just wilted, then season the curry with sea salt and black pepper before serving.
