Ingredients

  • 1 can Chickpeas
  • about 142 g Spinach
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Drain and rinse the 1 can of chickpeas. Set them aside.
  2. 2Finely chop the 1/2 medium onion. Mince the 2 cloves of garlic.
  3. 3Place a 25.4 cm skillet on the stove and heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
  4. 4Add the chopped 1/2 medium onion to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion looks soft and see-through.
  5. 5Add the minced 2 cloves of garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell the garlic. Be careful not to let it burn.
  6. 6Add the about 142 g of spinach to the skillet. Stir it gently until it wilts down, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. 7Add the drained and rinsed 1 can of chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir everything together well.
  8. 8Cook the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. You want the chickpeas to be heated through and some of them to break apart slightly when you stir. This will give your scramble a thicker texture.
  9. 9Serve the Spinach and Chickpea Scramble immediately.
