New! (24day)Spinach with Chickpeas

The original called for tofu but I didn't have any on hand so I used West Soy Seitan instead and it was still amazing, chicken would be a great option as well. I also got creative and added mushrooms. 




I served this dish with Cilantro Lemon Quinoa and side salad 



Ingredients;



  • 1 (16-ounce) block firm tofu, drained of liquid or Chicken
  • 2 tablespoons oil of your choice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger or 1 tablespoon of ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 cups spinach
  • 2/3 cup vegetable broth or which broth you prefer
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or garbanzo beans
Directions:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your choice of meat and place in the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned. transfer it to a plate and keep warm and prepare the rest.
West Soy Seitan 

Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until softened. Add mushrooms, garlic, ginger, cumin, stirring for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium.

Add spinach to the skillet, mix ingredients and allow spinach to wilt. Add a bit of vegetable broth if the skillet gets dry.



Stir in remaining broth, chickpeas, and meat and cook until heated through, and serve warm
