A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish combining chickpeas, spinach, and aromatic spices for a healthy and flavorful meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and oregano. Mix well.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
If using frozen spinach, ensure it is thawed and drained before adding.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
