I added fire-roasted tomatoes and served over some thinly sliced, grilled polenta. Excellent main course dish for a meatless dinner! Delicious and will make again. - 3/6/08

Everybody, including my 3 year old liked it. I can't resist messing with any recipe, so I added a cup of chopped tomatoes, some ground black pepper, and I used only 1 tbsp. of the oil - that was more than enough - otherwise I think it would have been greasy. - 1/16/08

Hi folks, I'm new to these recipes, but one thing has me stumped. Each one gives nutritional info per serving, but how am I to know how much is in one serving? - 1/14/08

I saute the garlic and spinach and I added onions as well until the spinach is slightly wilted then added the beans since they are already cooked. Delicious! - 1/14/08

I found this kind of bland and the beans seemed mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I don't think this ine is for me. - 1/13/08

Great Combo. I'd probably use the entire 10-12 oz. package of spinach and make due with only 1 Tbsp. olive oil. - 3/4/09

Pretty good. I like spinach, but I think the amount of Chickpea was a little more than you needed. I also added some mushrooms. - 3/4/09

This was delicious! For those who thought the spinach was too wilted or the garbanzo beans were mushy/grainy. You cooked it too long. I added in baby bellas, roma tomatoes, lots of garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice and it was awesome! Taking the leftovers to work tomorrow. :) - 4/16/12

Ooohhh... this sounds delicious! I think I'll pan fry a Boca Bruschetta patty, then add the spinach and chick peas (maybe only 1/2 can, though) and a couple of slices of lemon. I can't wait to try this one! - 6/21/09

Actuallly - I prefer this as a non-cooked spinach idea - really a salad rather than a side dish. Super easy to fix!
The addition of the red onion is a keeper! - 3/5/09

this was very good..not sure i cooked the chickpeas long enough, they weren't mushy...so if anyone wants to add some time guidelines to cooking, that'd be great! but still, was good. we think we'll add it to a pasta and maybe tomatoes....yum :) - 1/21/08
