SPINACH AND CHICK PEAS (Southern Spain)

1 box frozen cut leaf spinach
1/2 can chick peas with some liquid
1/2 onion 
3-5 cloves garlic 
olive oil
salt
chili powder
ground cumin

Defrost the spinach and drain off excess water.  Dice or mince the
onion, but not finely.  Saute/fry the onions in olive oil until
they have browned somewhat,and have softened or have become clear.

Mince the garlic. Saute the garlic in olive oil at moderately high
heat.  When the garlic clearly starts to brown add the spinach and
cook til done.  Turn and mix the spinach often. Depending on how
much you are making you may need to do the garlic and spinach in
several batches. Add chick peas and a little of their liquid directly
to pan.  Add salt, chili powder and cumin to taste.  Use about two
parts of chili powder to one part of cumin.  Off hand, I think I
end up with about one rounded tablespoon of this blend per box of
spinach.
