  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup vegan cream (see Notes)
  • 2 cups baby spinach, sliced
  • 4-5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup grated vegan parmesan cheese (such as Violife)

Instructions

  1. Warm Olive Oil and Garlic: In a large sauté pan over low to medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped sun dried tomatoes, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook this mixture for 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Combine Chickpeas and Liquids: Add the drained chickpeas, vegetable broth, tomato paste, vegan cream, and sliced baby spinach to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer Until Heated Through: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chickpeas are warmed and the spinach has wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red chili flakes if desired.
  5. Finish with Herbs and Cheese: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves and grated vegan parmesan cheese, if using. Serve immediately with crusty bread, cooked rice, pasta, or baked sweet potatoes for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Vegan cream can be made from cashew cream, coconut cream, or any store-bought vegan heavy cream alternative.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer a few minutes longer to reduce the liquid.
  • Sundried tomatoes packed in oil provide more flavor; if using dry-packed, rehydrate in warm water before chopping.
  • Adjust red chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on servings.
