Ingredients

1 tbsp - olive oil
3 cloves - garlic
½ cup - sun-dried tomatoes
2 cans - chickpeas
1 tsp - sea salt
1 tsp - red pepper flakes
½ tsp - dried oregano
¼ tsp - black pepper
1 cup - vegetable broth
1 cup - coconut milk
4 cups - baby spinach

Instructions

Sun-dried tomatoes are naturally chewy, cooking them down a bit will lend to a softer texture. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Let cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chickpeas and seasoning and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes. Canned chickpeas are already cooked, but like the sun-dried tomatoes, cooking the chickpeas down a bit will give them a more tender texture.
Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with a side of bread, pasta, or rice. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil.
