Garbanzos and Spinach

The first tapas bar Susan and Jason went to in Sevilla went above and beyond the complimentary tapas in Madrid, which never required a fork. We ordered two vermouths, and they were served alongside a hot cazuela with this delicious stew.

It’s a meal on its own, but also makes a great side.
