Description

A quick and satisfying one-pan meal featuring caramelized onions, spicy harissa, and tender chickpeas, ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cups greens (spinach, kale, or Swiss chard)
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and harissa paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chickpeas and greens to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything together.
  4. Cook until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes, and ensure the chickpeas are heated through.

Notes

Ensure the onions are sliced evenly for uniform caramelization. Consider adding toasted nuts or seeds for crunch.
