Sauté onion and garlic in a bit of oil. Add other vegetables & sauté until softened. Add vegetable broth or stock, tomatoes, garbanzos and cinnamon stick. Add spices. Cook for 1 hour or more, until flavors meld. Just a few minutes before serving, add parsley, lemon juice and spinach. Stir in well. Allow to cook until greens are wilted. Serve with Pita on the side, or over rice.

This normally contains chicken, but it was altered into a vegan dish.
