recipe*] Arabian Spinach

[Guest guest]

Here is a really delicious quick meal idea that I got

from a wonderful cookbook I use often.

I like to eat this wrapped in a warm flat bread or

on top of rice.

 

Arabian Spinach

 

1 onion, sliced

2 Tbs. olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 lb. fresh spinach, washed and lightly chopped

1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained*

Pat of butter or vegan margarine

Salt and freshly ground pepper

 

In a large frying pan or wok, fry the onion in oil for

about 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and

cumin and fry another minute. Add the spinach

in stages. stirring it until the leaves begin to wilt.

[Fresh spinach condenses dramatically when

cooked, and it will all fit in the pan] Stir in the

chickpeas, butter and seasoning. Reheat until

just bubbling, then serve hot. Drain off any pan

juices, if you like, but this dish is very delicious

served slightly wet.

 

 

* Or use 2 cups chickpeas you've cooked yourself.
