How to make it

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Make sure they are well-drained.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers slightly.

  3. 3

    Add the drained chickpeas to the hot oil. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn slightly golden and become a little crispy.

  4. 4

    While the chickpeas are cooking, halve your lemon. Juice one half of the lemon and slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish, if you like.

  5. 5

    Stir the dried oregano and fresh spinach into the skillet with the chickpeas. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until all the spinach has completely wilted.

  6. 6

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over everything in the skillet and toss gently to combine all the wonderful flavors.

  7. 7

    Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your taste. Serve warm, garnished with the lemon slices if desired. Enjoy your delicious and speedy meal!
