Vegetarian mains don’t have to take an hour to prepare. Warm feta, crispy chickpeas, and wilted hearty greens become a fork-and-knife entrée in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

4 servings

6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, sliced
2 bunches hearty greens, such as collard greens and/or Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves sliced
1½ tsp. curry powder, divided
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 (½-lb.) block Greek or Bulgarian feta, sliced ½" thick
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Toasted country-style bread (for serving)
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heatproof skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6–8 minutes. Add greens in handfuls, letting wilt before adding another handful, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add ½ tsp. curry powder; season with 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Lay feta over greens and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until feta is soft, 10–12 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, season with 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper, and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp around the edges, 8–10 minutes. Add remaining 1 tsp. curry powder and toss to combine.

    Step 3

    Stir yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt.

    Step 4

    Scatter chickpeas and toasted garlic over greens and feta. Dollop with seasoned yogurt. Serve with toast alongside.

  • Substituted Ras Al Hanout instead of curry. Served with couscous instead of bread.

  • This was good! Roasted the chickpeas in some olive oil & garlic powder but otherwise followed the recipe as is. The curry powder makes it. Will make again!

  • Delicious. I roast the chickpeas instead of sauteing. This works better if you start with dry beans. Used a flavored feta but thing I will do regular next time. While I love the yogurt, I don't think it's necessary for this dish.

  • I make this all the time. I don't like burnt garlic so I substitute crushed garlic cloves (and more of them) for the chopped. This way the garlic infuses the olive oil for the chickpeas and end up delicious and soft. Also, seems fine to half the salt. And reduce the amount of water-- otherwise the chickpeas will get soggy. If you look at the picture, there's no greens water on the plate and that's a good thing!

  • Made this for the second time last night, and it's gonna go into heavy rotation! It's really hearty and filling, and the flavor is sublime. Note that the quality of feta makes a difference here - the first time I used cheap supermarket stuff and it was ok, but the second time I used the real Bulgarian stuff and it was much better. Agree with others that 1 cup of water is definitely too much, I wash the greens in the sink and take them straight to the pan to wilt and there's probably almost enough additional water just from that, but ½ cup water is more than enough. The yogurt mixture is delicious, but we've not finished more than half of it and that's using a pretty heavy hand in the final dish. Also any hearty greens seem to work, we've used curly kale, purple kale, dino kale, and collards, all were delicious. The only changes we've made are to use lime instead of lemon juice(the sharper tang is even better) and ghee instead of olive oil(additional richness is even better).

  • I loved this! The only slight change I made was reducing the water to half a cup, but otherwise I followed the instructions to a tee. Other review found it too salty, but I thought th seasoning was perfect (so did my husband). The recipe was super quick and this makes an easy weeknight dinner.

  • I keep repeating this recipe with whatever greens I have on hand, kale, spinach, baby spinach, chard, and it always turns out great.

  • This dish was sooo good! I am vegan, so I substituted vegan feta and plain coconut yogurt. Other than mincing the garlic and using 3 bunches of lacinato kale, I wouldn't change anything. So flavorful! Will be adding this to my favorites.

  • DELICIOUS. So good... Definitely dial down the salt a little bit so the lemon and curry can play. New favorite.
