- Add the chorizo and continue cooking until it’s lightly crispy (if already cured/fully cooked) or almost cooked if using a fresh chorizo.
- 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.
- Add the chimichurri and mix well. Remove from the heat.
- Serve with fried or poached eggs. You can also add additional chimichurri and paprika on top of each egg.
