  • 1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 pound fresh spinach leaves, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup fresh juice from 2 to 3 lemons

  • 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained

Directions

  • 1. Heat butter in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat (sear setting on an electric pressure cooker) until foaming subsides. Add onions, garlic, and ginger.
