Chorizo chickpea stew (fast)

Step 1

Sauté chorizo - Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or small pot over medium high heat. Add chorizo and cook for 3 minutes or until golden.

Step 2

Sauté aromatics - Add garlic, thyme, paprika and bay leaf, then stir for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add everything else - Add tomato, chickpeas, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Stir, bring to a simmer then lower the heat down to medium low so it is simmering very gently.

Step 4

Cook for 15 minutes (no lid), stirring regularly to ensure the base does not catch, until the sauce has reduced and thickened.

Step 5

Serve - Discard bay leaf and serve. I love this with hot crusty bread (slathered with butter!).
