I saw recipe over on Perry's Plate that instantly set me to dreaming. Especially because (in the sign of a meant to be recipe) we had everything in the house. A few days later, I threw this together based on my memory of that picture and a quick scan of the recipe.
Makes: 3-4 servings
Ingredients
1 small onion
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
2 cloves garlic
1-2 tbsp of olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 handfuls of baby spinach
2 tbsp oil packed sun dried tomatoes
Directions
DICE onion
DRAIN chickpeas
MINCE garlic or run through garlic press
DRAIN selected sun dried tomatoes
ADD 1 tbsp olive oil to medium frying pan
HEAT oil on medium until it flows easily
ADD onion, chickpeas, garlic, and a dash each of salt and pepper
COOK until onion is translucent
ADD spinach and sun dried tomatoes
COOK until spinach is wilted
Enjoy!
My Thoughts
1. This was REALLY GOOD. Like, I want to eat way more than I should, good.
2. We served it as main dish over pasta, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, but I could have gone without the pasta entirely and been just fine. It would also work as a side dish.
3. This came together fairly quickly (just a bit longer than it took the pasta to cook) and it was a nice change of pace from the usual boring pasta. This is well on it's way to being a new household staple, and hey! I have another can of chickpeas...
