Cigrons a la catalana ("chickpeas in the Catalan way"), a traditional recipe from Catalonia. A very simple stew of chickpeas and spinach. It's particularly common during Lent period.

Recipe under the cut.

Photo and recipe from catalunya.com.

Ingredients for 4 people

400 g cooked chickpeas

1/2 large onion

4 garlic cloves

a pinch of flour

2 ripe tomatoes

olive oil

salt and pepper

cooking liquid from chickpeas

few strands of saffron

garlic and parsley

roasted almonds

2 hard-boiled eggs

200 g spinach

Preparation

Prepare the roux. Sauté the chopped onion with a little salt to prevent it from burning. When cooked, add the chopped garlic and parsley, and shortly after the tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped. Fry gently until well concentrated. Then add the flour and stir so the mixture binds together well.

When the roux is well bound, add the chickpeas, together with their cooking liquid. Simmer gently over low heat for about a quarter of an hour.

Add the spinach in the last five minutes.

Meanwhile, make a picada with the salt, toasted saffron, garlic and almonds, all finely chopped. Dilute with the cooking liquid and add to the chickpeas. Cook for three or four minutes more and serve the chickpeas accompanied with hard-boiled eggs, cut in half.

Variants

The spinach can be replaced with chards.

You can add a little bit of bacon.

You can add a touch of raisins, a spoonful of paprika, ñora pepper, or clove.

You can use a little bit of dry bread to make the picada.

Splendid red #chards in the #vegetablegarden :) The weather was so good today, there was a warm breeze and we took a stroll by the river with @witch.bam then tended to the garden for a while, enjoying the last rays of sun. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHnlZ3IBpg8/?igshid=16vi15dmlrc0o
