How to make it lighter
- Measure the olive oil when you sauté the onion and pastes: each tablespoon adds about 120 kcal, and the stew still tastes rich with less.
- Serve it with a big shepherd's salad or pickles instead of a full plate of rice pilaf, which can add as many calories as the stew itself.
- Top it with a spoon of yogurt for extra protein, or stir in spinach or peppers to make the same bowl go further.
