Instructions
- Prick potatoes with a fork all over and cook the in the microwave for 10 minutes. Turn potatoes over half-way through.
- While potatoes cook, chop onion, olives, and garlic and saute in a large pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add chickpeas, oregano, and lemon juice and let simmer for a couple minutes.
- Add spinach and cook just for a few minutes, long enough to let spinach wilt.
- Remove potatoes from microwave and cut in half lengthwise (careful, they're hot!). Use a fork to loosen the flesh from the skin. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and a sprinkle of feta. Top potatoes with chickpea mixture and finish with a little more feta and parsley. Enjoy!
