spínate

Spínate is a traditional Spanish dish originating from the Canary Islands, particularly from the island of Tenerife. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, chickpeas, and a tomato-based sauce. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot, allowing the flavors to meld together over time. Spínate is often served with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. The name "spínate" comes from the Spanish word "espinacas," which means spinach, reflecting the dish's green color and the presence of spinach in some variations. The dish is a staple in Canarian cuisine and is enjoyed both locally and internationally.
