This dish is deceivingly hearty. The chickpeas are so filling and smoky from the paprika. It’s delicious because, well, it’s just delicious. Serve as a side or do a larger portion for your vegetarians because even though they chose this life, they shouldn’t be punished for it.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly slice\
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 cups lightly packed spinach or baby spinach leaves
- 3 cups lightly packed arugula
- ¾ cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 large (29-ounce) or 2 regular (14-ounce) cans cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
1
Heat the oil in a high-sided 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes
2
Add the spinach, arugula, stock, chickpeas, smoked paprika, cayenne, and the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt to skillet cook, stirring, until the greens are wilted and the mixture has absorbed most of the liquid, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with more salt to taste and serve with lemon wedges.
This is insanely good. Thank you!!!
I can’t wait to have my daughter make this for me. I have arthritis really bad in my hands and can no longer use them to cook but she is the best chef I know!
So good and so filling! We added feta on top and served over rice to make it a whole meal!
So easy and so tasty. I increased the cumin (because I love it!!) and also added garam masala. Hearty, healthy and full of flavor.
Bought the ingredients (subbed kale for the arugula) to make 1/2 the recipe since I’d be the only one eating it in my house, and just in case I didn’t like it…
And then proceeded to eat the entire amount that I made. So yummy!
Thanks, Chrissy!
