Spinach with Garbanzo Beans

Sometimes, people I know flee the country and leave me with whatever is left of their stash of food. This provides some interesting fodder for cooking, since I end up with ingredients I haven't used before. For example: garbanzo beans! To find this recipe I entered "Garbanzo beans recipe" into The Google Machine and came out with this. I'll let you know how it turns out once I actually try it.

UPDATE: This is sooooo good and soooo easy to make! Amazing. I will be cooking this so much!
