Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans 15 oz each chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 6 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  • Toss in the chickpeas, curry powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat evenly and cook for 5 minutes, letting the chickpeas get slightly crispy.
  • Add the spinach in batches, stirring until it wilts down. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Give everything a final stir and cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld together.
