Espinacas con Garbanzos (Spinach with Chickpeas)

Espinacas con Garbanzos, or spinach with chickpeas, is a classic Andalusian dish that can be found throughout Spain. Believed to have originated in Seville, this dish is exceptionally delicious and relies on only a few ingredients to achieve a high level of flavor complexity. Espinacas con garbanzos is eaten throughout the year, but most often during Lent because it is a vegetarian dish. In most traditional applications, espinacas con garbanzos is saucy, but is not a stew. Usually, toasted or dried bread is used as the thickening agent to achieve the very specific consistency found in this dish. We hope you try this flavorful recipe to get a little taste of Seville.
