Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned chickpeas are a lifesaver for quick meals. You can also use dried ones, but make sure to soak and cook them beforehand. Full-fat coconut almond milk adds a lovely creaminess that balances the spices beautifully. If you want to switch things up, try adding different greens like kale or chard instead of spinach!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to make a big batch and enjoy the leftovers for lunch throughout the week - they taste even better the next day!
- •If you want to add a bit of crunch, toss in some roasted chickpeas on top before serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add diced tomatoes or red bell peppers for extra sweetness and color.
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of soy sauce or tamari adds a nice umami punch!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or coconut almond milk if it thickens up too much.
