Ingredients · per serving
- 100 ml Vegetable stock
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 80 ml Tomato passata
- 1 tsp Sweet smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 200 g Chickpeas (tinned)
- to taste Salt
- 1 slice Crusty bread
- 100 g Spinach
- 50 g Onion
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Roughly chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the onion, cook 5 min until soft.
- Add the garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Stir 30 seconds — careful with the paprika, it burns easily.
- Add the chickpeas and tomato passata. Stir to coat in the spice.
- Pour in the stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook uncovered 8 min — mash about a quarter of the chickpeas with the back of a spoon as you stir. This thickens the stew naturally.
- Add the spinach in big handfuls. Stir until wilted, 1-2 min.
- Stir in the sherry vinegar. Taste, season with salt and pepper. Serve in a deep bowl with crusty bread for dipping.
