Mediterranean Spinach Chickpea Stew image

This spinach chickpea stew turns a bag of frozen spinach and some chickpeas into a wholesome one-pot dinner to feed a crowd! There are variations of this spinach stew recipe with tomatoes throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East. My mom made her spinach stew, Egyptian-style using lean ground beef, but I opted for a vegan option, which is just as hearty and satisfying, thanks to chickpeas!

1 medium yellow onion ((finely chopped))
4 garlic cloves ((minced))
kosher salt
1 cup san Marzano tomatoes ((with their juices))
2 cups chicken broth ((or vegetable broth))
1 pound frozen spinach ((chopped))
15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup fresh parsley ((chopped))
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
black pepper
1/2 cup broken vermicelli noodles ((or orzo))

  • While the spinach stew is simmering, toast the vermicelli. In a small pan, heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Add the vermicelli and continuously stir to toast it evenly. Vermicelli should turn a nice golden brown, but watch carefully not to over-brown or burn. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the toasted vermicelli in the spinach stew and cook for another 10 minutes or until the vermicelli noodles are cooked to tender.
  • Remove from the heat and finish with lemon juice and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
