Chickpeas With Baby Spinach image

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 bag 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground Salt, preferably kosher salt freshly ground pepper to taste 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock, or water Cayenne to taste 1 6-oz. bag baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, tomato paste and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring for one to two minutes, until fragrant and the tomato paste has turned a darker color. Add the chickpeas, the stock or water, and the cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach, a handful at a time, stirring until each addition of spinach wilts. Add salt to taste and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for five minutes. Add lots of freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt and cayenne, and serve. Tips Another way to make this dish is to blanch the spinach separately in salted boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, drain and squeeze dry. Add to the chickpeas as in step 2, but stir together for only two to three minutes. Advance preparation: This can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated, but when you reheat you'll want to add a little more liquid. It can sit on top of the stove for a few hours.

The lemon-tahini dressing is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a nice brightness and acidity to the dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can of chickpeas in my pantry, so it's easy to throw this together for a quick and healthy meal.
