Spanish Chickpea and Spinach Stew
Cooked chickpeas and spinach simmer in a smoky paprika and tomato sofrito with sherry vinegar and olive oil. A hard-boiled egg and toasted almonds are stirred through, building protein and texture. The stew stays thick and rustic, spooned into a shallow bowl and eaten with a fork.
