Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Yellow onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Chili flakes
  • 540 ml Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup Sundried tomatoes, sliced
  • 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Baby spinach
  • 14 g Basil, julienned
  • 4 pieces Naan

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and chili flakes into the pan with the onion. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. Add the drained and rinsed canned chickpeas along with the sliced sundried tomatoes. Pour in the coconut milk and tomato paste, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  4. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. After simmering, add the baby spinach and julienned basil. Stir until the spinach wilts down and becomes green, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve warm, either on their own or with naan, rice, or couscous.

Notes

  • Substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different taste.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Fresh herbs provide more aroma than dried.
  • Adjust chili flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Consider other leafy greens as alternatives to spinach.
