Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for kale if I can't find it?
You can substitute kale with other hearty greens such as Swiss chard, collard greens, or even spinach, although spinach cooks much faster. Adjust cooking time accordingly if using spinach.
How should I store leftovers of this dish?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
My chickpeas are too firm after adding them to the dish. What can I do?
If your chickpeas are too firm, it's possible they weren't cooked long enough prior to adding them to the dish. You can simmer the kale and chickpeas together for an additional 5-10 minutes with a splash of water or broth until they soften to your liking.
