As the weekend approaches, we share a recipe for a Spanish stew, Chickpeas with Chorizo Sausage.
You will need:
3 v.š. extra virgin olive oil;
1 medium chopped onion;
3 cloves garlic (chopped or crushed);
150g diced chorizo sausages (spicy or not spicy - to taste);
1 small red and green peppers each (seeds removed, cut);
2 bay leaves;
6 v.š. (90ml) red wine;
2 a.š. pepper powder;
400g (can) of chopped canned tomatoes;
400g (can) chickpeas;
Salts to taste;
0.5 a.š. freshly crushed black pepper;
A small handful of chopped parsley for decoration.
We produce:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion, garlic and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the products soften but do not burn. Combine chorizo sausage, peppers and bay leaves. Leave to bake for another 5min.
2. Pour in red wine, paprika powder and chopped canned tomatoes. Mix everything well and increase the heat to medium. Cover and leave to simmer for 5-7min. Then remove the lid and bake uncovered for 1-2 minutes to evaporate the excess sauce.
3. Simmer the chickpeas. Cover the pan again and bake for 3-4 minutes on low heat. Season with pepper, salt, other favorite spices to taste.
4.Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
