Meatless Monday is something I’m trying to get in the habit of, as I feel that Phillip and I eat a little too much meat. For dinner this week, I whipped up a spinach and kale chickpea stew, which was topped with a fried egg.
I’m not a usually fan of chickpeas, but this meal? It was fucking amazing – so much so, that I had leftovers for lunch on Tuesday (minus the egg, because I really couldn’t be stuffed frying an egg and then washing the pan out afterward).
Today, I wanted to share the recipe with you guys, if you decide to make it, let me know what you thought.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced and divided
- 1 handful baby spinach
