Instructions:

In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add in the onions and chopped garlic, and cook until golden. Now stir in the parsley, cilantro, harissa paste, and the seasonings and cook for 2 minutes.

Toss in the chickpeas, fresh spinach, vegetable broth, and milk. Stir and cover with a lid, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Remove the lid and mash some of the chickpeas with a potato masher or a fork - while leaving a good amount whole. Return to a simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until the liquid has cooked down a bit.

Let cool and serve over rice or veggies and top with dairy-free plain yogurt and fresh cilantro.
