Spinach With Chickpeas image

This comes from a Spanish cookbook I own. I have made it using about 1/2 cup of jarred, roasted, marinated bell pepper strips instead of the pimientos mentioned, and that worked well. And yes, it is 11 cups of spinach-it cooks away so much!

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1 medium onion, finely chopped

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it over rice or quinoa, but it would also be good with pasta.
