Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tbsp)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (18 1/4 ounce) cartons lentil soup, such as Dr. McDougalls
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup dried currant
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (to taste)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • 6 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt or 6 tablespoons plain nonfat soy yogurt

Method

  • Heat oil in medium saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, and saute 3 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute, or until garlic is softened, but not browned, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in tomatoes, soup, chickpeas, raisins, cinnamon, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Bring stew to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until mixture is reduced and sauce has thickened, stirring often from bottom to prevent sticking. Garnish each serving with one tablespoon yogurt.
