Mediterranean Chickpea Scramble with Feta & Spinach

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 0.5 medium Red Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 15-ounce cans Canned Chickpeas
• 5 ounces Spinach
• 4 ounces Feta Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, which is about 300°F (150°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil to the skillet.
2. 2Add the 0.5 medium Red Onion and 2 cloves Garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. You will see the onion become soft and slightly see-through.
3. 3While the onion and garlic cook, drain and rinse the 2 15-ounce cans Canned Chickpeas. Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, gently pressing some of the chickpeas with the back of a fork to slightly mash them. This helps them absorb flavor.
4. 4Stir in the 5 ounces Spinach, 4 ounces Feta Cheese, 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, 0.25 teaspoon Salt, and 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper. Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the spinach has wilted and the feta cheese is slightly softened and melted, about 3 minutes. The spinach will shrink down and become bright green.
5. 5Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Mediterranean Chickpea Scramble immediately.
