Spinach Chickpeas and Mushrooms

We have been staying at my inlaw’s house during our kitchen renovation.  My mother in law made this awesome Spinach, Chickpeas and Mushrooms dish.  It’s super simple to whip up and naturally I had to share it with all of you.  This Spinach, Chickpeas and Mushrooms recipe could be eaten as a side dish, or you can serve it over rice or quinoa for a complete meal.  Spinach, mushrooms and chickpeas are 3 of my favorite foods.  If you love chickpeas as well, you may also like my maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas or my epic chickpea spread.

This healthy recipe comes together very quickly.  It’s also vegan and gluten free.
