Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and saute for 4, until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and saute for another minute.

  3. 3

    Toss in the cumin, coriander, and umami seasoning and cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant. Add the broth and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a moderate simmer. Allow to simmer for about 7 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed so it doesn’t simmer too vigorously.

  5. 5

    Give the mixture a quick taste. If your tomatoes are tart, add a pinch of baking soda to neutralize the extra acid.

  6. 6

    Fold in the kale and cook for about 5 minutes, until the greens are tender. Turn on your broiler while everything is simmering.

  7. 7

    Taste and adjust the seasoning before adding the feta cheese.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the mixture and transfer to your broiler for 2 minutes to melt the feta.

  9. 9

    Top with the chopped parsley and serve with warmed whole grain pita bread.
