Ingredients

Method

  1. Warm oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic gently for 1 minute without browning, then stir in paprika.
  2. Add chickpeas, water and salt. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring until hot.
  3. 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.
