Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced small
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon curry powder
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
Pinch ground cloves
2 cans (15 ounce each) no salt added chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 Tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups water
Chopped cilantro and lemon wedges (optional) for serving

In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until dark brown around the edges, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, curry, cinnamon, and a pinch of cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chickpeas, ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high; cook until sauce is slightly reduced, 5 minutes. Serve topped with cilantro, with lemon wedges along the side, if desired.
