Chickpeas with chorizo
Ingredients
2 cans chickpeas
1 onion, diced
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 capsicum, diced (red or green)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 small chilli, diced
½ can diced tomatoes
2 chorizo sausages, sliced
Method
Heat the olive oil in a heavy based saucepan and slowly cook the onion and capsicum so they soften. Drain the chickpeas, add and cook for a few minutes.
Using a mortar and pestle, blend the garlic, chilli, paprika, and salt to a smooth paste. Dissolve the garlic paste in ½ cup water and add to the chickpeas together with the tomatoes. Stir through and cook for a few minutes.
Add the chorizo and simmer partly covered, until cooked (about 30 min). If the dish looks too dry, add some boiling water.
