INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the aromatics

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato powder, just 2 tsp of paprika, and cumin and continue to cook until spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

2
Finish the Spanish garbanzo beans

Stir in chickpeas and 1 cup water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until mixture has thickened and water has reduced, 8 to 10 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

3
Make the aioli

Stir together mayo, minced garlic, just 1 tsp vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl.

4
Toast the ciabatta

Move oven rack to top position and set oven to broil on high. Place ciabatta directly on rack, cut side up, and toast until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Rub toasted ciabatta with remaining garlic half and sprinkle with salt. Cut each ciabatta diagonally into two triangles.

5
Serve

Divide Spanish garbanzo beans between bowls. Spread aioli on toasts and place on top of chickpeas. Top with romesco. ¡Buen provecho!
