Quick & easy turmeric chickpea sauté with cherry tomatoes and cashew yogurt drizzle. A vibrant, nutritious dinner ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- • chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed): 2 cups
- • cherry tomatoes (halved): 2 cups
- • baby spinach: 2 cups
- • red onion (thinly sliced): 1 medium
- • garlic (minced): 3 cloves
- • turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • cashew yogurt (store-bought or homemade): 1/2 cup
- • fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish): 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red onion and sauté for 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
- 2 Add the minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir continuously for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aromas.
- 3 Add the chickpeas and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
- 4 Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to combine all the flavors.
- 5 Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the cashew yogurt over the chickpea mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This One-Pan Turmeric Chickpea & Cherry Tomato Sauté is delicious on its own, but you can elevate the meal by serving it with a side of whole grain pita bread or brown rice for added fiber and nutrients. A fresh green salad with cucumbers and radishes complements the warm sauté perfectly. Pair this dish with a refreshing glass of iced herbal tea or a crisp, light white wine to keep the meal light and refreshing.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to preserve the texture of the chickpeas and tomatoes. If the cashew yogurt drizzle is already mixed in, it may separate slightly upon reheating, so consider adding a splash of water or additional yogurt to restore creaminess.
