Chickpeas And Spinach Recipes

Try this as a side dish tonight!

Tasty side dish that is good with most anything. It is full of protein and vegetables - what could be better?

This versatile salad has roasted chickpeas, which has exotic smell because of addition of cumin, later it was sprinkled over the spinach bed along with onion and cherry tomatoes. This is good for summertime outdoor meals. Try this refreshing, colorful and low calorie salad and enjoy.

My friend Kirsten says that even if you don't like spinach, you will love this dish. Personally, I don't like cooked spinach at all, but I must agree with her that this is GOOD!

This dish is a great, filling way to get a lot of protein without a lot of sodium. Adjust the seasonings to your taste (I like a lot of garlic, but you may not!)

Yummy, high in protein and other good stuff, and very low in calories

This is Skye Gyngell's recipe that appeared in the Guardian Vegetarian Recipe Special. This would make a great lunch and could be make smaller as an appetizer/party snack.

I changed the recipe because I didn't want to fry the chickpeas (save a little fat!). I enjoyed it without frying them, but I thought I'd include the original list in case anyone wants to try it that way, too. Salt and pepper are NOT included in in nutritional information because I choose not to use salt.
