Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 15 oz canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil (chopped)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk from a can
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in chickpeas and tomato paste; add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
