Prep Time
5 minsCook Time
6 minsIngredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ (70g) small onion, small dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup vegetable stock, divided
- 1 cup (140g) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 oz (60g) spinach
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation
- Combine olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili flakes, tomato paste, and half of the stock in the Anyday dish. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes, or until spices are fragrant.
- Add chickpeas and the other half of the stock and stir. Cover and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add spinach. It will be a tight fit, but will cook down significantly! Cover and cook for 1 minute, or until spinach is wilted.
- Mix in salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly. Serve while warm.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Try adding a tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro, basil, or mint!
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
