While studying abroad in Spain, I have been trying different foods that I would not normally eat at home. One of the dishes I decided to try was espinacas con garbanzos. I had never tried it before, so I was curious to see what it tasted like and how different it would be from the foods I am used to eating.
I tried espinacas con garbanzos. Espinacas con garbanzos is a dish made mainly with spinach and chickpeas. It is usually seasoned with different spices and ingredients that give it a lot more flavor than I expected. When I first saw it, I noticed that it had a very simple appearance. It was mostly green from the spinach with the chickpeas mixed throughout. Even though the dish looked pretty simple, it had a strong smell and looked like it would be very filling.
The spinach had a savory flavor, while the chickpeas gave the dish a softer and slightly nutty texture. I also noticed the seasoning because it gave the dish more flavor than I expected. Overall, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It also made me realize that some foods can seem very simple at first but taste completely different once you actually try them.
