Servings: persons

1/4 cup grape seed or olive oil, divided
1 15.5 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and dried well with paper towels (the drier the better)
black pepper
15 to 20 oil cured salty black olives, coarsely chopped
5 ounces container baby spinach or arugula
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
table salt

1
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering add garbanzo beans, and season with black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
2
Saute garbanzo beans shaking the pan occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the olives. Continue cooking for another 5 to 8 minutes or until garbanzos are crisp. (They won't be crunchy, but they will almost pop when you bite them.) Pour garbanzos and olives into bowl or rimmed plate and set aside.
3
Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, and heat over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the spinach, water, lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Stir spinach occasionally until soft and liquid has evaporated. Add garbanzos and olives back to pan and toss to combine. Serve warm.
