Smoky spinach and chickpea stew

My experience with this one could be described as "Local man is shocked that a tomato-based dish tastes like tomatoes". I don't know what I expected.

Notes and adjustments:

+ I added a tsp of freeze-dried garlic and a dash of ground black pepper, because why not. Used a slightly larger amount of paprika than suggested, about 1.5tsp, and that felt right.

+ The tomato-based sauce has a very liquid texture, so you'll want to serve this with something that'll soak it, like bread (my choice) or rice.

+ I can see myself cooking this again, despite my mixed feelings about tomatoes. It might be nice with something extra added in, like mushrooms or baby corn.
