E1/4 cup of peanuts

Instructions

  1. In a large pan or skillet, add a drizzle of oil before adding in some diced onions, letting it sweat for a minute or so before adding in the garlic.
  2. Add in your chickpeas, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir.
  3. Add in your peanut butter and keep stirring it so it can melt in the heat. (If you have crunchy peanut butter and would like to use that instead, it works too! It’ll just have the extra peanuts in the dish from the peanut butter.)

  5. Finally, add in a can of (full fat) coconut milk and let everything simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach before serving.
