    I couldn't wait to try this, even though I had to use frozen spinach, and didn't have saffron or raisins. I substituted chopped dates for the raisins, and the dish came out great! Thank you for this delicious recipe. Also, this was my first time grating a tomato to make sauce. I'll be using that method more.

    First of your recipes we have tried!! I actually am no fan of chickpeas AT ALL but the addition of raisins and almonds meant I hardly noticed them!! That is a great recipe for chickpeas therefore. By the way we used kale instead of spinach because it was in the garden and it worked fine. Also served it over rice which I do think detracted a bit so next time, will eat with bread as you suggested! Love this channel! Looking forward to 'digging in'. ¡España!
