A Colorful Mediterranean-Inspired Chickpea Skillet

An affordable dinner can still be delicious. This Mediterranean-inspired chickpea skillet serves four, takes 10 minutes to prepare and about 20 minutes to cook.

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 onion diced, 1 bell pepper diced, 2 garlic cloves minced, two 15-ounce cans chickpeas drained, one 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 cups spinach, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve with rice or flatbread if desired.

Heat oil and cook onion and pepper for six minutes. Add garlic and spices for 30 seconds, then chickpeas and tomatoes. Simmer 10 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, add lemon and season. Frozen spinach works when thawed and squeezed dry.
