👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Wash Swiss chard thoroughly. Separate stems from leaves; finely chop the stems and roughly chop the leaves.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic, chopped chard stems, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the chopped chard leaves, canned diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chard leaves are tender.
5. Add the drained chickpeas to the pot and stir well. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt to taste.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or brown rice.
