RECIPE DECISION NOTES
Is this the right meal for today?
This chickpea-and-spinach skillet is a useful alternative to a tomato-heavy sauce. Paprika and cumin lead the seasoning, while spinach makes it a greens-based dish rather than a grain bowl.
Plan the method before you start
Add spinach toward the end as listed. Watch the garlic and powdered spices during the brief initial heating stage, and have the water ready before starting.
