HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

02

Add minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

03

Stir in the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to absorb the flavors.

04

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches if necessary, stirring until it wilts down, which takes about 2-3 minutes.

05

Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

06

Serve hot, perhaps with a side of warm pita bread or couscous.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, a pinch of cayenne pepper can be added with the other spices for a subtle kick. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the dish beautifully.

Easy Substitutions

Kale can be used instead of spinach; just add it a few minutes earlier to allow it to tenderize. You can substitute cannellini beans for chickpeas if preferred. For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
