Carefully slice the aubergine in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out some of the flesh, creating a cavity for the filling.

Drizzle the aubergine halves with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until they start to soften.

In a pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the chickpeas and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the flavors meld together.
