First, boil the spinach in water with salt and the vegetable bouillon cube. Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and add it to the pot where you'll make the stew. You can also mash the garlic with a little olive oil and sweet paprika, then add it to the spinach along with the cooking water.

Once the spinach is boiled with the garlic and sweet paprika in the pot, add the rest of the spices along with the bay leaf and the piece of ginger root—this last ingredient is key for that distinctive flavor. Add a handful of breadcrumbs to thicken the sauce.

Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until the mixture reduces and all the ingredients are well combined. If you like, it's also traditional to garnish the stew with strips of fried bread—highly recommended, as it adds excellent flavor. Let it rest for a few minutes, then it's ready to serve.
