Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cooking chorizo sliced (approx. 50g)
  • half an onion sliced
  • 200 g (1 ¼ cups) chickpeas (from a 400g tin) drained and rinsed
  • 200 g (1 ⅓ cups) chopped tomatoes (from a 400g tin)
  • 1 tsp sweet pimenton or smoked paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a handful of spinach

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the chorizo and fry for a 3 to 4 minutes until it starts to brown. Add the sliced onion and cook for a further minute until it starts to go translucent.
  • Add the chickpeas and fry for a couple of minutes, coating everything in the paprika infused oil, then add the chopped tomatoes and pimenton, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Just before serving, stir in the spinach until it wilts. Serve the stew with a drizzle of olive oil and plenty of freshly ground black pepper…and maybe some crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up the lovely sauce - enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetarian option - replace the chorizo with extra chickpeas and smoked paprika or plant-based sausage alternatives.
  • Chickpea substitutes - swap the chickpeas for butter beans or lentils, if you prefer.
  • Leftover ideas - serve the stew over baked sweet potatoes for a hearty twist. Or, turn leftovers into a stew-based pasta sauce by reducing the liquid and mixing it with your favourite pasta.
  • Serve as a meal for one or as part of a tapas selection - for a tapas selection, try these 2 dishes from the same recipe book:
