Chorizo & Chickpea Stew

Its as cold as a witches tit here in London at the moment. The kind of cold that gets into your bones, and wont shift until it’s made to. Which is where this chorizo and chickpea stew comes in. A bit of a riff on the Spicy Spanish Stew I do, this is hotter, spicier, smokier and has all the ingredients to give you that Ready Brek glow, but without having to shovel some unpleasant gruel down your neck.

I use Brindisa’s picante chorizo, as I like it the best, but you can use whichever cooking chorizo floats your boat. Don’t use the salami like cured stuff, as it doesn’t really work for this recipe. Lets crack on.

Ingredients (serves 3-4)

6 cooking chorizo

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 medium hot red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp maras biberi

1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)

Spicy Spanish Stew

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Winter is drawing in. It’s getting dark, cold and a bit grim out there. This hearty stew is a bit of a staple round my way at this time of year. I’ll cook up a big batch at the weekend, eat some of it and then freeze the rest. The dominant taste and spice comes from paprika that’s both added to the stew, and is in the chorizo. It’s a winner and has more flavour than William Drayton Jnr.
