Chorizo and Chickpeas
A quick throw together snack of spicy chorizo and hearty chickpeas
Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 Chorizo sausage, sliced
- 1 can Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- Parsley, chopped as garnish
Instructions
- Add chorizo to the frying pan on medium heat. If using a non-stick pan oil isn't required - the oil from the chorizo will seep out and help it fry. Fry chorizo until it begins to crisp up, about five minutes.
- Add the chickpeas to the pan and cook for four to five minutes until heated through. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper if desired.
- Remove from the pan and place into your dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with fresh bread.
Notes
This dish is a quick meal or snack when you're rummaging in the fridge for ingredients. Jazz is up with other items such as
Garlic, the culinary hero. Add a finely chopped clove or half a teaspoon of minced garlic. Add this as your chorizo has finished browning.
Red capsicum (pepper) diced. Add it in while cooking the chorizo.
Dried herbs or spices such as oregano or paprika - try adding 1/4 tsp to begin with and adjust to taste.
Extra virgin olive oil. Either added in the cooking process or as a dressing at the end, start with one teaspoon.
Use this dish as one of many when creating a spread of Spanish-inspired tapas.
