Steps:
- Place chickpeas on a paper-towel-lined plate to allow any excess liquid to be absorbed.
- Place flour in a deep bowl; add chickpeas and toss until completely coated with flour.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. When oil begins to smoke, add chickpeas, shaking pot to coat chickpeas with oil; chickpeas will begin to snap and pop. Keep shaking or stirring pan occasionally, until chickpeas are golden brown all over, about 4 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to a plate and set aside.
- Place pot over medium-high heat and add remaining tablespoon oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
- Add red pepper and spinach to pot and cook until spinach begins to wilt, about 1 minute; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Continue cooking until spinach has completely wilted, about 30 seconds more.
- Transfer spinach to a serving plate and top with chickpeas; serve immediately.

Steps:
- Using a large frying pan, sauté onion and garlic in oil over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add chickpeas and dill. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach, a little at a time. Drizzle lemon juice over all ingredients and cover with lid.
- Cook 5 minutes or until the spinach shrinks. Stir to combine. Serve hot.
- To save time, use pre-cooked chickpeas. If you're using dried chickpeas, you'll need to soak them overnight and then cook them for about an hour before using them in this recipe.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Add some heat to the dish with red pepper flakes or chili powder. If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the dish. You can also add a serrano pepper or jalapeño for even more heat.
- Serve with rice, quinoa, or pita bread. This dish is a great vegetarian main course, and it can also be served as a side dish. If you're serving it as a main course, pair it with rice, quinoa, or pita bread.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
