Chickpeas and Fresh Green Spinach

Somtimes I cheat and use frozen spinach
but the flavor suffers more than I like.

Ingredients:
10 oz cooked chickpeas
2 lb fresh spinach
2 slices fried bread
1 onion
1 head garlic
Parsley
Paprika
Salt to taste

Directions:
Boil the spinach in water with a pinch of salt.
Drain well and set aside. Using a mortar and pestle,
crush the fried bread with two
tablespoons of chickpeas to form a paste.
Gently fry the peeled garlic and chopped onion until golden,
then add a little paprika, followed by the bread and chickpea paste,
the drained spinach, the parsley and the remaining chickpeas.
Check for salt, then allow to cook gently for 15 minutes. Serve warm.
