my cast iron dutch oven + superfast suppers cookbook = tuscan chickpea stew

No need to ask tonight, “What’s for dinner?” Got you covered.

I whipped up this dinner last night in less than 20 minutes.  Let me repeat that.  20 minutes. Had I known it was truly a superfast supper, I would have saved it until Monday. (My loss is your gain!)  Let’s just say it was incredibly easy to make and delightfully tasty.

2 T olive oil, divided

3 garlic cloves, crushed

4 Chicken Sausage link, fully cooked

1 T fresh or dried rosemary

1/4 t. pepper

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with green pepper, celery, and onions, undrained

3 (15.5 oz) cans chickpeas, undrained

3 cups fresh prepackaged baby spinach

1/2 cup freshly Parmesan cheese

Heat 1 T. oil in sauce pan or dutch oven or medium-high heat.  Add garlic and next 3 ingredients.  Saute 4 min or until sausage is browned.   Add tomatoes and 2 cans chickpeas, scraping pan to loosen brown bits.

Drain remaining can chickpeas.  Add to pan.  Bring to boil: cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes.  Uncover and stir in spinach; cook 2 minutes our until spinach wilts. Place a slice of crusty bread in shallow bowl.  Spoon stew into bowls over bread.  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese.  Done and done.  Let’s eat!
