 Total Time |
|---|---|
| 12 | 15 minutes |
Ingredients¶
2 medium bell peppers
0.25 cups coconut oil- 2 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
6 pita- 1 tsp salt
6 cups spinach- 2 tsp turmeric
Cookware¶
food processor
bowl
fork
12-inch (or larger), high-sided skillet
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Add half of the chickpeas to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until broken down but not puréed. (Alternatively, place in a large bowl and mash with a fork.) Set aside.
Step 2¶
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch (or larger), high-sided skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions, stir to coat with the oil, and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the bell peppers, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, and salt, and cook until the peppers are tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 3¶
Add the mashed and whole chickpeas, stir to combine, and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach, cooking just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 4¶
To serve immediately, divide the chickpea mixture between the pitas, filling each half with ¾ to 1 cup of the mixture.
Step 5¶
If not serving immediately, let the chickpea mixture cool completely before filling, then wrap each pita half tightly in aluminum foil. Refrigerate or freeze in resealable plastic bags. Reheat uncovered in a 325°F regular or toaster oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes if refrigerated or about 30 minutes if frozen.
