Ingredients
  

  • 100 g spicy cooking chorizo sliced
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 red chilli deseeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
  • 1 tin 400g chickpeas, drained
  • 1 tin 400g mixed beans
  • 1 tin 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 200 ml chicken stock approx.
  • Sour cream optional

Method
 

  1. Fry the chorizo in a heavy-based pan for 2-3 minutes, until just crisp and releases its fat. Transfer the chorizo slices to a plate.
  2. Keep the fat in the pan. Add the onion, garlic and chilli, then cook gently for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the thyme, chickpeas and mixed beans and put back the chorizo, then cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and enough stock to cover. Simmer, under a lid, for 10 minutes, then for a further 5 minutes without a lid to thicken the sauce.
  4. Serve it with a dollop of sour-cream, if you like.
