Mediterranean Chickpea Skillet

This was delicious 😋

It is definitely a pretty dish, but something just didn't quite mesh well with the flavors. There was a lot going on, but didn't seem to blend well, in my opinion.

I let it simmer / reduce for quite a while before transferring to the broiler. Also added 1/2 tsp of sugar to sweeten the tomatoes

Had to use a pinch of baking soda as suggested to neutralise the acidity. Worked out well, nice easy lunch

Subbed the kale for spinach and the umami seasoning for soy sauce and miso, since that's what I found. Still good, a bit more liquid than I'd wanted but you can just let it simmer longer :)

I didn't have umami seasoning so I substituted some fish sauce turned out decent.

I added some oregano at the end of cooking. Used homemade chicken stock and use real sea salt. I also added chicken that I rubbed Lawry's all over.

Delicious! I think I'll try adding chicken next time for my husband. I used a tad more Umami. I also accidentally put in a full cup of broth and had to cook it down which made it pretty salty, but I like my salt. Serving size says 4, but for us it was really 2.5

Super happy with this recipe! Easy peasy vegetarian lunch or dinner.

It wasn't bad. Fairly bland following the directions but not bad by any means. Ingredient list said diced cans but when you click over to instructions it said fire roasted. Changing tomatoes would have helped.

Great lunch dish. Made enough for 3-4 lunches.
