Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
2 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the rinsed chickpeas and undrained diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use cashew cream instead of coconut milk.
Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
This dish pairs well with crusty bread or your favorite grain.
