Chickpea and Spinach Curry
Recipes December 2nd, 2008
Again, not my recipe or my photo… this is from Cooking Light and it is SO good! It doesn’t make very much (only 3 servings) so I am going to double it tonight so I can make sure there is enough for my lunch tomorrow and the baby’s lunch. I am going to have it with pitas tonight. Last time I put it over rice. YUM!
Yield
3 servings (serving size: 1 1/3 cups chickpea mixture)
Ingredients
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 1/2 tablespoons bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons red curry powder (such as McCormick)
1 (19-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Combine onion and ginger in a food processor; pulse until minced.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion mixture, sugar, and curry to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Add chickpeas and tomatoes; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in spinach, water, and salt; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts.
