Spinach, garbanzo beans and tomatoes

Spinach, garbanzo beans and tomatoes

We needed a quick meal tonight since we were getting home later than usual.  This is a very quick dish - can be on the table in 20 minutes tops.

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, chopped (can also use garlic)
2 green onions, chopped
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
12oz fresh spinach (can use any greens you have: swiss chard, kale, etc.)
1 tomato, diced
1/2 lemon or lime, juiced

Heat olive oil in large skillet.  Stir in shallot and green onions;  cook and stir for 3-5 minutes.  Stir in garbanzo beans and season with salt and pepper as desired.  Place spinach in pan and cook until wilted.  Add tomato and squeeze lemon or lime juice over greens.  Serve with hot sauce as desired.


Easy Peel and Eat Shrimp

We had shrimp with our spinach, beans and tomatoes.  I use the recipe on the back of the Old Bay Seasoning box to make peel and eat shrimp

2 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2/ cup water
1 lb frozen shrimp in the shell

Mix seasoning, vinegar and water in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil, add shrimp, cover and steam for 5 minutes until done.  Peel as you eat!
