Transport your taste buds to Spain with this quick and wholesome Spanish Chickpeas and Spinach recipe. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s a perfect blend of bold flavours and nourishing ingredients. Whether paired with crusty bread or a simple salad, it’s a delight that’s easy to make and enjoy!

1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add in the garlic, paprika, and cumin, and stir to combine. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally.

2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the spinach to the pan, cover with a lid, and wait for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the chickpeas. Then continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until the chickpeas are heated through.

3. Taste and season generously with salt (I used about 1 teaspoon) and black pepper to taste.

4. Serve warm, with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad.
