Spinach, Chickpeas, and Feta

I don’t know how this recipe came into our house. It’s not Italian, though the ingredients are mediterranean, and I never had it growing up. But it quickly became a favorite. I wonder if it’s a variation of an Indian dish? In any case, it’s simple to make, and tastes great.

What you need

  • Spinach, 1 large bunch

  • Chickpeas (garbanzos), ½ to ¾ can

  • Feta

  • Garlic, 1 clove

  • Olive oil and butter

How you make it

  • Soak the spinach in a bath of cold water to let the grit settle out. Squeeze out the water and chop coarsely.
  • Finely chop the garlic, and simmer it in a pan with a tablespoon or two of olive oil and a small pat of butter.
  • Add the chick peas and cook until well warmed.
  • Add the spinach and cook until just wilted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cubed or crumbled feta.

Enjoy!
