Ingredients

chickpeas with chorizo:
  • 5 oz (150g) spicy Spanish chorizo
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 (14oz/400ml) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup water or broth if you have some leftover on hand
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 (14oz/400ml) can chickpeas
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • parsley
  • crusty bread with butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the chorizo sausage into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes. Chop the onion into cubes, finely chop the garlic.
  2. Add the sausage to a cold frying pan and turn on medium-high heat. As the pan is warming up, fat will render from the sausage. Cook it for about 2 more minutes or until lightly browned.
  3. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic and paprika, cook for about a minute.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, water/broth (use it to rinse the can), bay leaf, and drained chickpeas. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  6. Serve with sunny-side-up eggs and bread with butter.
  7. Enjoy!
