  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  15 min

Ingredients

  • ΒΌ cup extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 2 cups stemmed Swiss chard leaves or curly kale, roughly chopped
  • 4 slices bread, toasted

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.

  2. Pour in the marinara and cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add the greens and stir until just wilted, about 2 minutes.

  3. Spoon the mixture over the toast, dividing evenly.
