Today we are cooking Portuguese spinach with chickpeas - a very tasty and filling dish, and also healthy!

I cook this dish often, because you can use canned chickpeas for it and I always have them at home, and you can take either fresh or frozen spinach, which increases the chances of this dish in terms of the possibility of its year-round preparation. And even radishes, which, in principle, you can do without, are already available in supermarkets all year round! I think I have convinced you that this dish is healthy and worth adding to your cookbook.
