Place the spinach in a colander and rinse. Set aside for use later.
2 cups of fresh spinach
Lightly toast pinenuts in a dry pan on medium-high heat. This should take around 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Remove toasted pine nuts from pan and set aside for use later.
10 grams of toasted pine nuts
Heat the oil in the pan and add onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden.
2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, 1 small white onion
Reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, nutmeg, white pepper, and cumin and stir until combined. Cook for a minute or two or until the spices become aromatic.
2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp Spanish La Vera smoked paprika, 1 tsp Ground Cumin, ½ tsp White pepper, ½ tsp ground nutmeg
Stir in the chickpeas, half of the toasted pine nuts, and raisins until combined. Cook until the chickpeas are heated (around 3 minutes - note: if you want extra soft chickpeas, just extend the cooking time for another 5 minutes).
1 15-ounce can Chickpeas, rinsed and drained, 10 grams raisins
Add the still-wet spinach to the pan, cover with a lid, and wait for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Once the spinach has wilted, mix in with the chickpeas and spices.
Check the flavors and balance with a dash of sherry vinegar.
Dash of Jerez Sherry Vinegar, Salt and cracked black pepper
Garnish with the leftover toasted pine nuts and raisins, a drizzle of olive oil, and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
