World Vegetarian Spanish-Style Spinach with Chickpeas

Bag of spinach from the market + desire to not just saute it with garlic = search through cookbooks (for once) for an interesting but quick recipe.  Thankfully, World Vegetarian offered a simple recipe that contained exclusively ingredients I have at home – Spanish-Style Spinach with Chickpeas.  

I didn't use dried chickpeas, rather a can of chickpeas, so the cooking time was really only 20 – 30 minutes which made it a perfect dish with a side of rice or bread for a weeknight dinner.  The only change I will make the next time I make the recipe is to reduce the amount of spices called for in the recipe – particularly the 2 tsp. of ground cumin and 1 tsp. of ground coriander were a bit much for only one bag of spinach and one can of chickpeas.  And now that I have also purchased dried chickpeas for the first time, I'll probably also try the recipe with them as well!
