निर्देश

1. To a large pan on high heat, add the oil, onion, carrot, bell pepper and salt. Cook for 7-ish minutes.

2. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 2 minutes before adding cumin, paprika, and coriander, and cook for 1 minute more.

3. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, tahini, soy sauce, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook for 5-ish minutes.

4. No need to stress on timing—it can sit for a bit.

5. Add the spinach. When wilted, remove from the heat. Garnish and serve alongside pita bread or rice.

From Jenn:

This might seem like a lot but it is super easy, I can pull it together pretty quickly, and I mess it up all the time but it's still great.

• I omit garlic and onions due to allergies and find it still tastes good.

• I use 2 serrano peppers rather than red hot chili, but if I was making it just for me, l'd likely kick it up. You could also use the milder jalepeño pepper or omit if you don't like spicy/hot food.

• I'm loosey-goosey with the spices but smoked paprika is the real star of this dish so regular paprika won't do.

• This recipe is really versatile with the veggies so I frequently add any firmer varieties in my fridge that need to be used up (broccoli, etc.). Do this at step 1.

• If buying tahini, get a squeeze bottle and shake open-topped bottles require stirring and are messy. If you don't have tahini, possible substitutes are almond butter, greek yogurt, or even sesame oil (I'd go light on sesame oil as a little goes a long way).

• The cilantro or basil garnish is not that noticeable for flavor, but the lemon squeeze is very yummy, as is the feta.
