Photo: Garbanzo Beans and Spinach Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, removed from casings and chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 fresh bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach, stems removed and rinsed
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo until brown and the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
To the oil in the pan, add the onion, bell pepper, salt, red pepper flakes and bay leaves and cook until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, chickpeas and chorizo and cook, stirring, until the peas just begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Arrange 1/3 of the spinach in a casserole dish. Pour half of the chickpea mixture over the spinach, and top with another layer of spinach leaves. Pour the remaining chickpeas on top, and top with the remaining spinach. Pour the white wine over the top, cover and bake until the chickpeas are tender and the spinach is wilted, about 15 minutes, adding more wine or water as necessary.

This was a delicious dish. I used veggie chorizio & homemade vegetable stock instead of the wine. I found it to be a little salty & I am a salt lover. I think it would be good with a few squeezes of fresh lemon. I am thinking next time I make it I might omit the sausage & use feta cheese.

Very tasty. I loved this at bonefish grill so I was happy to find the recipe here. The only alteration I made was using turkey sausage.

So, I definitely added some changes to this recipe after reading the reviews and it turned out to be a very tasty dish. First of all, I used 1lb of ground turkey seasoned with 17 seasoning instead of sausage so it was a little leaner. Also, when I was mixing everything into the pan, I added some tomato sauce to the mix ( 8 oz can and some red wine since I didn't have any white wine in the house. Layered it up in a casserole dish as instructed with the spinach and yum, yum. Having leftovers for lunch today. Will definitely make this again!
