• porties: 4 servings
• totale tijd: 55 minutes

Ingrediënten

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup chopped yellow onion

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 (16-ounce) package baby spinach

½ cup lower-sodium vegetable broth

2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed

2 cups precooked brown rice (from two 8.8-ounce packages)

Instructies

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup onion, the chopped garlic and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 16 ounces baby spinach in batches; cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 7 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly, about 1 minute.

Add ½ cup broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Remove from heat; stir in rinsed chickpeas, 2 cups rice, 2 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup dill, 3 tablespoons lemon juice and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg until combined. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and stir gently once or twice.

Cover and bake until bubbling around the edges, 20 to 22 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Garnish with additional dill, if desired.
