Follow @kalejunkie for more recipes & ideas! 🫶🏻 HEARTY CHICKPEA ORZO SPINACH STEW! This is one of my ALL TIME favorite recipes from my cookbook, Love to Eat, and with this colder weather, I needed to give you the recipe so you can make it, cozy up with it, rave about it to all your friends, and then go buy my cookbook for more recipes like this! You are going to love all of the flavors here, and it’s plant-based and freezes well too! You can also sub the orzo for a gluten-free orzo or similar pasta shape.⁣
⁣
Makes 6 servings⁣
Ingredients:⁣
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil⁣
1 large onion, finely diced⁣
4 garlic cloves, mashed⁣
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped⁣
1 teaspoon ground cumin⁣
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes⁣
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper⁣
1 1/4 cups orzo pasta⁣
1 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes, drained⁣
1 15ox can chickpeas, drained and rinsed⁣
3 cups vegetable broth⁣
2-3 cups fresh spinach⁣
Garnish: parmesan cheese (or plant-based substitute)⁣
⁣
Heat the oil in a large pot on the stove. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic, rosemary, cumin and red pepper flakes. Season well with salt and pepper. Next, add the tomatoes and the chickpeas, using a spoon to smash and break down some of the tomatoes and chickpeas. Add the vegetable broth and pasta, and give everything a nice stir, making sure that nothing sticks to the bottom. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and allow to cook for about 10-12 minutes. The pasta should be al dente. Remove the pot from the heat and add the spinach, stirring for about 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted. Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese, and serve!⁣
