Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan or pot. Add the onion and saute until it's soft and slightly translucent.
Add the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and tomato paste and saute about 30 seconds until combined.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stew has reached your desired thickness.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the spinach. Taste and add salt and pepper, as desired.
