Reasons You'll Love It

Full of vibrant flavors and nutritious ingredients. The combination of chickpeas and kale provides a great source of protein and fiber. It’s easy to make and perfect for a healthy, satisfying meal any day.

Cooking Advice

- Rinse the chickpeas well if using canned to reduce salt and improve taste.
- Sauté the spices gently to release their aroma before adding other ingredients.
- Add a splash of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors.

Directions

Gently heat some oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and chile pepper, and cook them until the onion softens, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, add the chickpeas along with the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes so the spices can really come through. Splash in a little water to keep things from sticking, then add the lemon zest and juice for a fresh kick. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you feel it needs a bit more. Finally, stir in the kale and cook just until it starts to wilt, around 3 to 5 minutes. Once everything is nicely combined and fragrant, take it off the heat and it’s ready to enjoy.

Great Ways To Serve

Serve warm with steamed rice or warm flatbreads like naan or chapati. It also pairs well with a side of cooling yogurt or a fresh cucumber salad to balance the spices.

How To Refrigerate This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water if needed to keep it moist. This dish can also be frozen for up to a month.
