[@andywilson5509]

Until you make this dish, you can’t imagine what incredible flavours it has! One of the tastiest chickpea recipes out there.

[@snowysnowyriver]

I'm from England too, and also love this channel. Times are hard but these nutritious recipes can be made for such a reasonable price.

Really superb! I'm transitioning to as much vegan as possible for a number of reasons. I'm not a zealot about it but I find it's not a sacrifice for me at all. I love veggies and legumes and I'm a good cook. So... feeling good, saving money, being humane and pampering my tummy. Sounds good to me! I have to say, your cooking was a major inspiration toward this direction! Thanks so much for being you. ❤

[@SpainonaFork]

Happy to hear that! Much love :)

[@kevinpoole6122]

I have made a version this dish for YEARS! I use walnuts, Golden raisins, and a yellow onion. And a poached egg on top. I never knew of its Catalonian origins. Muchas gracias, Alberto!

My grandparents were from Barcelona. I used to get this as a child but they added some Morcilla (a type of blood puding sausage) & Spanish Chorizo, not being vegans. It was out of this world. They used to tell me this dish was good enough to bring people back from the dead. Thank you for sharing.

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.

[@SpainonaFork]

So happy to hear that! Much love :)

[@Viva_la_natura]

I'm an enthusiast of Italian cucina povera, and it's hard for me to branch out, but you've inspired me to order saffron threads in larger quantities. What a beautiful representation of your culture. Thank you for sharing. Your recipes are..wonderful.

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!
