Ingredients
Method
- Warm oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic gently for 1 minute without browning, then stir in paprika.
- Add chickpeas, water and salt. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring until hot.
- Add spinach in handfuls until wilted, then finish with lemon juice off the heat.
A little note
Serve with warm bread or cooked grains.
Cooking tips
- Keep the heat low enough that the garlic softens without turning dark and bitter.
- Drain chickpeas well and wilt spinach in batches so the pan does not become watery.
