Espinacas con garbanzos is Seville's canonical Moorish-Sephardic tapa: spinach and chickpeas simmered with cumin, smoked paprika and a touch of vinegar, served warm with bread.
Espinacas con garbanzos is widely attributed to Sephardic Jewish Sabbath cooking, a slow stew made before the 1492 expulsion of Jewish residents from Seville. After the Reconquista, the dish was retained by Christian Sevillians and seasoned with chorizo or jamon to mark the Christian table. Casa Ruperto in Triana and El Rinconcillo in centro both serve canonical versions; Coloniales near Casa de Pilatos draws long lines for its kitchen's take. The dish runs year-round but spinach is at peak from October to March.
