This Chickpea & Spinach Skillet with Saffron Broth is an absolute flavor bomb. It´s loaded with flavors, easy to make and comes together in 20 minutes. The perfect dish for a busy weeknight or relaxed weekend lunch. Plus it´s vegan + gluten free, so it´s suitable for just about everyone.
What really takes this skillet to the next-level is the texture of the chickpeas. Thank´s to the saffron broth, the chickpeas have a melt-in-your-mouth texture that will blow you away.
Make sure to use some high-quality saffron threads to make this chickpea skillet. It´s the saffron that really flavors the entire dish. The saffron I used from Golden Saffron is some of the best saffron in the market. Don´t settle for anything inferior.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: I used jarred cooked chickpeas to make this skillet. The secret when using jarred or canned chickpeas is to drain them into a sieve and rinse them under cold water. This removes any of the preservatives and unwanted sodium.
