Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium red onions, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 (15oz/400 g) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable stock, aim for a low sodium stock
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 (15 oz/400 g) cans chickpeas, drained
  • 3 cups spinach packed
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) crumbled feta
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

  • fresh parsley, optional

Method
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and soften the diced onions for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, oregano, cayenne, and ground cloves, cooking together for an additional minute to release their aromas.
  3. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, and balsamic vinegar, bringing the mixture to a boil before lowering the heat to a gentle simmer.
  4. Let it cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
  5. Fold in the drained chickpeas, packed spinach, and crumbled feta cheese, then cover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  6. Season with salt to taste, sprinkle with red chili flakes and fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
