Instructions

  1. To make the chimichurri, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and blend until well combined. Taste and add more salt/pepper, vinegar, etc if needed. You can make the chimichurri sauce ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium sized cast iron or frying pan and add the onions. Cook until translucent.
  3. Add the chorizo and continue cooking until it’s lightly crispy (if already cured/fully cooked) or almost cooked if using a fresh chorizo.
  4. Add the chickpeas and cook for another 10 minutes over medium high until the chorizo is fully cooked. Taste and add additional seasoning if needed – remember that the chimichurri will add herbs, garlic, and a hint of hot pepper.
  5. Add the chimichurri and mix well. Remove from the heat.
  6. Serve with fried or poached eggs. You can also add additional chimichurri and paprika on top of each egg.
