Background
This chorizo and bean stew with added chickpeas is a hearthy and spicy dish that can fill and warm you up at any time of the year! It only takes 20 minutes to make, the leftovers can be used as jacket potato filler - just thicken it a bit further. Serve it with crusty bread or steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 100g 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)
Instructions
- 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.
- Keep the fat in the pan. Add the onion, garlic and chilli, then cook gently for 3-5 minutes.
- 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.
- Serve it with a dollop of sour-cream, if you like.
