Ingredients:
  • 250.00 ml dried chickpeas

  • 40ml (2 tbsp) Spanish olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1-2 white bread slices, crusts removed, cut into cubes
  • 2.50 gm ground paprika
  • 1.25 gm ground cumin
  • 250ml (1 cup) chicken style liquid stock
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, soak chickpeas in cold water overnight. Drain, transfer chickpeas to a saucepan with 1 litre (4 cups) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 45 minutes until cooked. Drain and set aside.
  • Steam the spinach until it wilts slightly, then squeeze out any excess water, roughly chop, and set aside.
  • In a frypan over medium heat, heat the oil and sauté the crushed garlic for 1 minute. Then, add the bread, paprika, and cumin, and fry for another minute.
  • Blend the bread mixture with stock until you get a smooth paste. Mix the paste with spinach and chickpeas in a bowl until well combined. Serve the dish at room temperature.
