A flavorful and nutritious dish combining spinach, chickpeas, and aromatic spices.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the dish.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Stir in the minced garlic and cumin seeds, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Toasting the cumin seeds slightly enhances their aroma.
Gradually add the spinach, stirring until it wilts down.
Add the spinach in batches if necessary to fit it all in the pan.
Mix in the chickpeas, butter, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
Ensure the chickpeas are well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the dish.
Cook until heated through and serve hot.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
