Baked Feta with Spinach and Chickpeas
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
  • 1 can (540 ml - about 2 cups) chickpeas, drained
  • 2 bunches spinach, about 500 g, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 100 g block Feta, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • fresh chopped cilantro for garnish
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:

Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the turmeric and give it a quick stir.

Add the spinach and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed.

Add the chickpeas, crushed tomato and salt to taste. Cook until thickened.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chickpeas-spinach mixture in an 8-inch round baking dish and top with the Feta. Bake in the oven until cheese is softened, about 12-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven, drizzle a little olive oil over, sprinkle with black pepper, garnish with cilantro and serve with bread.
