Rustic Spanish Chickpeas

Well, it's been a while, but I'm posting this recipe for Leigh.
I had a Spanish-themed dinner and, among other dishes, I made this chickpea dish, dead easy and tasty:

olive oil for the pan
1 large foccacia roll
4-6 cloves of garlic
2 cans of chickpeas (organic if poss)
I large bunch english spinach
1 lemon
sea salt

pan-fry the foccacia roll and cloves (with their skin on) until the bread is nicely toasted.
cut the bread into small cubes and skin cloves, return to the pan.
add chickpeas and roughly cut spinach.
continue to cook until the bread softens and forms a paste with the wilted spinach.
season with salt, and before serving add lemon juice and 2 tbsp of zest into the pan.
enjoy!
