Chorizo and chickpea stew
Background
Chorizo and chickpea stew is so loved by my family that I cook it regularly - sometimes I make it with roasted peppers, sweet potatoes, squash, kale or courgettes. This recipe is based on the traditional Spanish version, using potatoes and spinach. It's an ideal quick & easy dish for a midweek supper, served with pita or crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp chopped shallots
- 150g cooking chorizo, sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tin chickpeas (400g), drained
- 250g baby new potatoes, halved
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 250 ml chicken stock
- 100 ml red wine
- 100g baby spinach
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan then gently fry the onion and chorizo for 5 minutes.
- When the chorizo is lightly brown, add the garlic and bay leaf then fry for 1 minute.
- Add all the other ingredients except the spinach. Bring to the boil then gently simmer, under cover, for 25 minutes.
- Add the spinach and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking then serve.
Tips
- Spicy it up with some chilli or use hot chorizo!
- You can use curly kale instead of spinach.
- Or sweet potatoes or butternut squash instead of potatoes.
