Chickpeas and Greens
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas, or 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Fine-grain sea salt
- 3–4 handfuls of young dandelion leaves, stems trimmed
- Zest of 1 lemon
Steps
- Place chickpeas in a medium bowl. Stir oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 big pinches of salt in a cold, large skillet. Heat over medium until garlic starts to sizzle; it should not begin to brown. Add dandelion greens, toss to combine, and cook, stirring, until they begin to wilt, about 15 seconds. Stir in lemon zest.
- Pour greens over chickpeas and toss to coat. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Transfer to a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
