Instructions:

1. Add the garbanzos, 2 garlic cloves and bay leave to the pressure cooker, add water to cover. Let it cook for about 20min.
2. Then when the cooker is cool enough, open it up. Wash spinach, slice and add to pressure cooker to boil with garbanzos. Let is cook (without closing) for about 5min.
3. Smash ½ garlic clove and parsley. Leave aside
4. In a saucepan add some olive oil and sauté the onion for about 5 min.
