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.
