Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 ½ cups water, divided
¼ medium onion, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons curry powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup water
½ cup couscous
1 teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

  • Place drained spinach in a saucepan over medium heat and add 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Cover and cook about 5 minutes more. Set aside without draining.
  • Combine 1/2 cup water, onion, 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes, adding more water if needed. Add cooked spinach and liquid, chickpeas, 1/2 cup water, salt, and pepper. Cook until liquid is reduced, about 20 minutes.

Love this recipe! The chickpeas are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and delicious. I always add a little extra spinach because I love the way it wilts into the sauce.
