I served this over quinoa making it a Phase 2 meal. It would also be good with curry instead of oregano & lemon juice.

Thanks for sharing this. Chickpeas and spinach are my favorites and I'm looking forward to trying this recipe.

Hmmm...I have some fresh spinach I need to get rid of, this might work! SOunds delish!

Have you been snooping in my pantry? I have all the ingredients including red quinoa which I've never tried. I'll downsize the recipe a bit and make this soon.

I made this for supper tonight and it was delicious. I omitted the oregano and lemon juice and added curry powder, a little red curry paste, and some smoked paprika.

what is quinoa?

Quinoa is a type of grain, and it's full of fiber and protein.
