When I buy chickpeas, I like to cook them all at once. This was a great way to use the cooked chickpeas. Totally delicious, even with dried dill instead of fresh since that's what I had. I did add a bit of salt and pepper and topped with a little grated pecorino romano cheese. Yum! Submitted by:

I used frozen spinach because I had some that needed to be used and this was a perfect recipe for it. I also added salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and crushed red pepper. I ate 2 servings as a meal. Yum! Submitted by:

I love this recipe. I added mint and some salt, and did not completely wilt the spinach. Served it with Ground Beef kabobs for a great dinner. Submitted by:

Awesome starter recipe! I added 4oz reduced fat feta cheese, 1 c part skim ricotta and 4 reduced fat laughing cow swiss cheese wedges. It was so delicious and I ate the leftovers for lunch the nex day! Even my picky toddler ate it! Similar taste to Spanakopita! Thinking of baking it in phyllo. Submitted by:

I really like this dish - I love spinach and the chick peas make it a protein-rich meal that is quite filling and satisfying. I added green, red, and yellow bell peppers and tomatoes (cleaning out the fridge :) as well as some Frank's Red Hot sauce. Very good! Thank you :) Submitted by:

This is delicious! I used frozen spinach to make it easier and added some diced extra firm tofu to crank up the protein, and I absolutely loved it. This is one I'll be making again! Submitted by:

Served on wheat flatbread w/ feta cheese and yogurt is amazing.

I could honestly do without the chickpeas, but fiber and protein are good.... 		Submitted by:

I'm betting most of the salt comes from the canned beans. Rinsing them before using them can reduce it or using dried beans you cooked yourself. It's just a guess, but it's the only place it seems to come from. Submitted by:

Where did all the salt come from? It sounds like a great recipe, but my husband has to watch the salt. Any way to lessen the salt? Submitted by:

I made this last evening for a dinner party for some vegetarian friends of my daughters. They thought it was lovely. After I finished cooking the chick peas and spinach I added a little salt and pepper and grated lemon peel. I toped it off with more fresh dill. Submitted by:

I loved it, it was fresh and different. I think what a lot of people missed is salt. I didn't add any as I'm trying to keep it healthy. But what I DID wonder about was how dry it seemed to be. Not sure how to fix this, but it was sooo good! Submitted by:
