Ingredients
- 250 grams Chorizo sausage

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Slice the chorizo into thin rounds and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and releases its oils.

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add the smoked paprika and ground cumin to the skillet, mixing well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable or chicken stock, stirring to combine.
Add the drained and rinsed garbanzo beans to the skillet along with the cooked chorizo.
Season with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
