As the weather gets cooler, Nourish Box wanted to provide a hearty, warm and healthy recipe for our community. We settled on a Chickpea and Spinach Stew. Chickpeas are so easy to cook with, and coupled with spinach, this meal packs so many nutrients. Wrap yourself in a cozy blanket and enjoy this delicious stew.
Ingredients:
· 1 small chopped onion
· 2 minced cloves of garlic
· 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
· 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
· 1 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes
· 2 15 ounce cans of chickpeas
· 1 bag of fresh spinach
· 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin and ginger; cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice, and chickpeas; stir to combine and mash chickpeas slightly with a potato masher.
2. Using tongs, toss in spinach and sprinkle mixture with water; cook, covered, until spinach is wilted, tossing mixture once half-way through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and then serve.
