Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion small, minced
3 cloves garlic minced
1½ tbsp tomato paste
½ cup sun dried tomatoes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp salt
¾ cup vegetable broth
1 cup coconut milk
30 oz canned chickpeas 2 cans, drained and rinsed
1 handful spinach or basil torn

Instructions

In a pan over medium heat, add the oil, onion and garlic. Saute until fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
Next, add the sun dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, chili flakes and salt. Saute until fragrant, approximately 3 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk and stir until a sauce is formed. Stir in the chickpeas and cover and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Finish with a handful of fresh spinach or basil and enjoy with toasted bread, rice or pasta, as desired.
Storage: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Make it spicy by adding more chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Serve however your heart desires! Enjoy it with toasted bread, rice, pasta, or on its own.

Use cashew cream or soy cream instead of coconut milk for a more neutral flavor.

Sub spinach for kale, chard, or arugula for variety.
