Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cup chickpeas
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 clove
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • cinnamon stick (approx 1 inch piece)

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop onion into thin long pieces and combine with oil in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Cover and stir frequently. Add a couple of splashes of water if onions start to stick to the pan.
  • When onions are translucent (after approximately 5-7 minutes) add 3/4 cup water, tomato paste and spices. Reduce to minimum heat and simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas and continue to cook until chickpeas are warmed and flavours have combined (approx. 3-5min). The tomato and water mixture should thicken up and coat the chickpeas.
  • Remove the clove and bay leaf and serve with sauteed green vegetables like spinach or bok choy, rice, naan (or just on it’s own!) Leftovers are great for lunches the next day.
