πŸ“ Ingredients

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  2. 2
    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, rinsed chickpeas, dried oregano, dried dill, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  3. 3
    Add the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for at least 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. 4
    Uncover the pot and stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach has completely wilted.
  5. 5
    Season the stew with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Ladle the hot stew into bowls, serving with fresh lemon wedges and garnished with chopped parsley.

πŸ’‘ Notes

This stew tastes even better the next day; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Feel free to add cooked lean protein like chicken or fish for a more substantial meal.
