it certainly has enough protein either way it’s the kind of food that with each bite is going to 
warm your soul and fill you with so much goodness this video is sponsored by tienda.com La Tienda is an online Superstore focusing on selling all things Spain for your home and kitchen and they’ve been around since 1996 and like I always tell you they have the biggest selection of artisan Spanish ingredients likeo queso manchego the famous jamon serrano and jamon iberico marcona almonds olives the beautiful canned Seafood from Spain and all the spices you need to make all your favorite Spanish recipes among so many other great ingredients and let me tell you when it comes to cookware they have an amazing selection of authentic Spanish paella pans that range in size from two servings all the way up to 50 servings and they even offer classic grilling systems that way you can always perfectly

you there and make sure his coupon code ONAFORK during checkout for 10% off your order 
alright let’s just dive right into this I’m going to heat a large fry pan with a medium 
heat and add in 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil which is 45 ml as always make sure you use 
the good stuff here as this is what flavors all the ingredients link where you can get the Spanish one I’m using in the description box below while the oil is heating I’m going to finely chop one 
small onion and roughly chop eight cloves of garlic then we’ll add in the chopped ingredients into the hot fry pan and we’ll mix them around continuously that way they don’t brown too quickly and it all evenly sautes after about 3 minutes and the onion slightly translucent and that garlic is beautifully fragrant I’m going to add in 
2 tbsp of all purpose flour which is 16 grams and we’re going to continue to mix this and 
go be between 1 to 2 minutes this is enough time to cook off the raw flavor in the flour 
that way it doesn’t overpower the flavors of the dish after cooking the flour for about 2 minutes I’m going to add in 1 teaspoon of sweet smoked 
Spanish paprika which is 2 1/2 grams and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano which is 1 gram and we’ll quickly mix it together then we’ll add in one cup of milk which is 
240 ml I’m using low-fat but you can also use full fat nonfat or even a plant-based milk 
and we’ll also add in one cup of vegetable broth which once again is 240 ml you can 
also use chicken broth here or even beef broth if you like and we’re going to 
continue to gently mix this together and go between four to 5 minutes or until 
we end up with a slightly creamy sauce after about 5 minutes and the mixture is 
slightly thickened it’s time to add in the chickpeas I’m going to drain two cans 
of chickpeas into a colander and rinse them under some water size of the cans that I’m 
using our your standard size 15 1/2 oz or 440 grams each then we’ll gently add the chickpeas into the pan and season everything with sea salt 
and freshy cracked black pepper and we’ll give it a gentle mix until 
it’s well mixed together once everything’s well mixed we’ll lower 
the fire to a low medium heat and we’re going to simmer this for about 
10 minutes that way all the flavors can develop after simmering the chickpeas for about 10 minutes I’m going to add in a handful of chopped 
spinach and gently mix it until it’s lightly wilted I’m using fresh bagged spinach 
but you can also use the frozen stuff just make sure to thaw it out 
beforehand and pat it completely dry once the spinach is lightly wilted we’ll add in 2 tbsp of grated cheese which is 15 grams I’m using a Spanish manchego that’s been aged for 6 months but you can use whatever cheese you like and squeeze in 2 
tsp of fresh lemon juice which is 10 ml and we’ll give it one gentle final mix then we’ll remove the pan from the heat and 
transfer some the mixture into a shallow bowl and check it out folks our creamy garlic and spinach chickpeas are done easy to make heart healthy ingredients 
and all done in about 30 minutes using just one pan let’s give this a try and see how 
it turned out once again folks creamy garlic and spinach chickpeas this 
I am so excited to try here we go you know hard to believe we grabbed some simple basic ingredients and we got so much flavor out of this the chickpeas add the heartiness 
the spinach that lift of goodness and that delicious cream sauce rounds it out for the 
perfect balance of goodness easy to make heart healthy give it a try at home once again

protein either way the kind of food that’s going to fill you with so much goodness really

  1. I was making chilies today it is -17 in Minneapolis so chilly would feel good and got the idea from his dish and put bunch of spinach in it 😋came out great ( why not ?)

  2. Hi. I almost missed this one, been so busy. Busy today and this will be lunch today. Thank you, Sir. You are awesome. Have a nice day everyone.

  3. This looks so good and easy to make! A hearty and healthy dish. Are there any other beans that this recipe could work with?

  4. I just made this after much hesitation. I don’t love chickpeas. I buy them to make hummus, but I had everything & didn’t want a big meal today. I’m so glad I did. It’s delicious! Thanks Chef 😊

  5. I tried this and my husband and I loved it. Thank for putting out recipes that are delicious and easy to make.

  6. Chick peas recipe for loud farts !! I have tried everything, eg rinsing under water, eating charcoal biscuits, nothing stopped those trouser coughs!!!

  7. I made this tonight for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious.
    I added chopped kale, peas, and diced carrots. Served it over a bed of black rice.
    Topped with half a tin of sardines and sprigs of parsley.

    It's definitely a winner.

  8. I can barely wait to try this. I have been wanting to use more chickpeas, and with ingredients like garlic, paprika and spinach, how can you go wrong? I also prefer Spanish olive oil to others, it seems to have less bitterness.

  9. I've already sent comments on your terrific cooking channel, but I just have to say it again: What you do is just great, especially how you follow the line of always making simple, quick dishes without lots of frills and endless ingredients, and so many of them vegetarian or even vegan, which I also think is great, even though I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat relatively little meat.
    In addition, almost all of your dishes offer the option of changing them to suit your own taste, e.g. adding chili if you want it to be spicier, etc.
    I recently made a variation of your chickpea “meatballs”, unfortunately they turned out a bit too floury but that was my fault, otherwise I will be making them again soon in an improved form because they are absolutely great, just like this recipe which is now also top of my list.
    Please keep up the good work, I will definitely recommend your channel and I would also like to add that you are an incredibly likeable person.
    Best regards from Germany!

  10. Made these tonight to go with some grilled salmon. Very good! My husband said "definitely have to put these in the rotation". Thank you! 😊

  11. Yummy! My husband is 10 years old (+60) so he knows he doesn't like it, he's never had it before. Frustrating!

  12. This is a specialty of Andalusia, and one of my favourite tapas. There’s a bodega on a back street in Seville where they serve this. It’s easy to get lost in Seville. You should all try it!

  13. I made this dish for lunch today and I can say, it was delicious! It was so creamy and packed with flavour! With the addition of spinach it feels so healthy too! I never ate chickpeas before I started following your channel Albert, but now I can’t get enough of them! Thanks again for a really tasty and easy recipe!

  14. YOUR GREAT YOU GIVE THE AMERICAN AMOUNTS OF ING, MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR US,,THANKS. DONT HAVE TO LOOK UP GRAMS,,,,
