Instructions

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed pot. Stir in the oats and a pinch of sea salt, reducing heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and have absorbed the water.

In a separate small pan, toast the slivered almonds over medium heat until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas to the same pan with a dash of turmeric, cumin, and red chili powder, shaking until they are warm and lightly spiced.

Fold the fresh spinach into the hot porridge during the last minute of cooking until just wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the agave nectar for a subtle sweetness that balances the savory spices.

Pour the porridge into a deep bowl. Top with the spiced chickpeas and toasted almonds. Serve immediately while hot, perhaps with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten the earthy flavors.
