Ingredients
3 slices thick-cut pork bacon1 garlic clove, pressed2 T EVOO1 can (15oz) chickpeas, rinsed8 c baby spinach (6oz), remove stems1/4 t dried red pepper flakes (opt'l, but I don't)
Bring a 3-quart pot three fourths full of water to a boil. Add bacon and cook 2 minutes. Drain bacon and rinse in cold water. Pat dry and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. (Parboiling bacon! Shocking isn't it!)
Cook bacon and garlic in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned. Leaving bacon in the skillet, spoon off all but 1 T fat. Add 2 T EVOO, chickpeas, and red pepper flakes to skillet and sauté over high heat. Stir occasionally until chickpeas begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
