Andalucian-style spinach with chick peas

Method

1. Rinse the spinach well. Cook the freshly-rinsed spinach in a covered pan for 4 minutes, until wilted. Drain, cool and press out excess moisture, then roughly chop.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Fry the spinach for 1 minute. Stir in the chick peas and cumin. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. Meanwhile, pound the garlic and fried bread in a pestle and mortar or grind in a blender to a fine paste. Add the garlic paste to the spinach, mixing well.

4. Add the vinegar, water and paprika and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Serve at once.
