CREAMY Garlic & Spinach Chickpeas | Quick & EASY One-Pot Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and add 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Finely chop 1 small onion and roughly chop 8 cloves of garlic.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the hot fry pan and mix continuously to avoid browning.

After about 3 minutes, when the onion is slightly translucent and the garlic is fragrant, add 2 tbsp of all purpose flour and mix for 1-2 minutes.

Add 1 tsp of sweet smoked Spanish paprika and 1 tsp of dried oregano, mixing quickly.

Pour in 1 cup of low-fat milk and 1 cup of vegetable broth, mixing gently for 4-5 minutes until a slightly creamy sauce forms.

Drain and rinse 2 cans of chickpeas, then add them to the pan and season with sea salt and black pepper, mixing gently.

Lower the heat to low medium and simmer for about 10 minutes to develop flavors.

Add a handful of chopped spinach and mix until lightly wilted.

Add 2 tbsp of grated cheese and squeeze in 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice, mixing gently before removing from heat.
