Directions

  1. Soak the chickpeas for 12 hours, then cook them. If they start to dry out, add more water.

  3. Roast the garlic head, rinse off any burnt parts, and add it to the chickpeas. ≈ 2 min
  4. Sauté the onion and ñora in olive oil; remove the ñora, chop it finely, and add it to the chickpeas along with the onion and saffron.
  5. Coat the cod in flour, and fry it in a pan, skin-side down first, then flip it over; set aside.
  6. Sauté the spinach in olive oil over low heat until the water has evaporated, then season with salt and set aside.
  7. When the chickpeas are cooked, place the cod in a casserole dish, covering each piece with a spoonful of chickpeas and some spinach, then bake for a few minutes.
