Slow Cooked Spanish Stew instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a high heat. Once warmed add the chicken pieces and brown off a little. Add the paprika, cumin and cinnamon. Stir so it coats the chicken. Add the onions, potatoes and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Add around 200ml of water. Turn the heat down and bring to a simmer..
2. Add the drained chickpeas, tinned tomatoes, chicken stock cube and dried Thyme. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Allow to simmer for around 10-15 minutes with a lid on..
3. Next add in the bell pepper and the tomato paste. Stir once more to combine. Add a little more water as the sauce reduces and thickens. Simmer on a very low heat with the lid on for around 2 hours, ensuring it doesn't reduce too much. Simply add a little bit of water if you feel it needs to be less thick..
4. At the end add in the olives and spinach and season with a couple more cracks of black pepper. Allow the spinach to gently wilt down. Stir the stew again to incorporate everything together..
5. Serve up after around another 40-60 mins of gentle simmering. This stew is amazing on its own or served up with some buttered crusty bread on the side for dunking. Enjoy! :).
