Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 links (about 200g total) chorizo sausage
- 2 cups (drained and rinsed) canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Slice the chorizo into thin rounds and add them to the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and release their oil. Remove the chorizo and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add the diced onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the smoked paprika and ground cumin, allowing the spices to toast for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the pan. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the chickpeas to the pan, stirring until they are evenly coated in the sauce. Let everything simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the cooked chorizo to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
