Рецепт Espinacas con Garbanzos
Espinacas con Garbanzos is a type of tapa from the Andalusian region which is prepared with spinach (espinacas) and chickpeas (garbanzos), it seems to be an odd combination but wait till you try them. This traditional tapa from Seville is widely popular during the winter season and Lenten periods (Catholics abstain from meat during this time). Though this dish is a known to be Spanish, it was the Arabs who introduced it to Spain. History of this humble plate came from Ancient Persia where spinach came from and introduced to Spain, it was a very important in their cuisine during those times. Chickpeas on the other hand also came from the Middle East but instead of Arabs bringing it to Spain, the Phoenicians were held responsible for its introduction and since then it became a staple ingredient to a lot of Spanish dishes. It’s really simple to prepare all you need is to sauté your garlic and spices together with some stale bread then cook it with tomato sauce, chickpeas and spinach. Like I initially mentioned it is quite a tasty dish, nutty with a bit of odd slimy bits from the spinach, a perfect vegetarian tapa or a great side dish up to you how you want to enjoy it.
