Chickpeas with Spinach
I made hummus two days ago and the chickpeas I bought were more than I need. I only used half and put the remaining in ref. I do not want to store it for a long period so I decided to make a dish out of it. I had spinach also and thought it will be nice to combine the two for a hearty meal.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp of chili
pinch turmeric
2 cups of canned chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained
500 g spinach
half red bell pepper, sliced
half green bell pepper, sliced
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a preheated pan. Fry the onions till golden brown. Add the garlic and stir.
2. Add cumin, chili and turmeric, stirring for 2 minutes. Place the chickpeas and stir for 1 minute.
3. Place the spinach and bell pepper, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 2-3.
Note: If using dried chickpeas, cover with water and soak overnight. Boil and simmer until very tender.
