Time 1h

Yield 5 to 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups chopped Spanish onion
2 teaspoons harissa sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 1/2 cups canned plum tomatoes, with juice, puréed in a food processor
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups chickpeas (fresh, not canned)
12 cups coarsely chopped spinach leaves (about 10 ounces) (discard tough stems)
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Add harissa and garlic and cook a few more minutes. Add tomatoes and salt, lower heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Add chickpeas and simmer until some moisture has evaporated and mixture is thick, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and cook until the spinach has released its liquid. Simmer until no longer soupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature with lemon juice squeezed over the top.

I would make this salad again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would use a different dressing and I would add some more vegetables.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a different dressing.

I'm not a big fan of chickpeas, but I loved this salad! The spinach and tomatoes really helped to balance out the flavor of the chickpeas.

I made this salad for lunch today and it was delicious! I added some grilled chicken to make it a more complete meal.

This chickpea and spinach salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese was delicious, and the lemon-tahini dressing was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this salad again.
