Notes
Tips for the best chickpea and spinach recipe:
Cook the spices in the olive oil. This helps release the aromatic oils and heighten the flavor throughout this recipe.
Don't crowd the pan. If you add too much too a small skillet the chickpeas will be soft and not get that lovely caramelized flavor.
Use more spinach than you think is comfortable. It will shrink so feel free to use an entire bunch or bag of spinach.
