Soak the number one crush wheat in hot water, ensuring the water covers the wheat; let it sit for 7 to 10 minutes.

Dice or slice 2 medium onions as desired.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced onions to the pot and caramelize them.

Add 2 cups of chickpeas to the pot along with salt and black pepper.

Pour in water and mix well; let it simmer until the chickpeas are soft.

Reduce heat to medium-low and continue simmering.

In a separate bowl, gradually mix the soaked wheat with a little flour at a time until combined.

Roll the mixture into small balls, using oil on your hands or flour on the board as needed.

Drop the wheat balls into the simmering pot individually to prevent sticking; give a gentle stir to separate them.

Add a splash of red wine vinegar to the pot while simmering.

After 20 minutes of simmering, add spinach to the pot and mix well.
