Wash the spinach in plenty of water and chop it coarsely with the stems.
Saute the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, add the tomato paste, and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the spinach to the pot in batches and wilt for 5 minutes.
Add the chickpeas, salt, and a little hot water.
Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat before the spinach loses its color.
💡 Tip: Cook the spinach briefly after adding it to the pot, so the color does not darken before the dish is done.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with yogurt and bread on the side.
