CHICKPEA STEW WITH SPINACH AND CHORIZO



Chickpea Stew With Spinach and Chorizo image

Sergi Millet in "Food & Wine 2006: an entire year of recipes" ---------- "This stew, like many in Catalonia, starts with a sofrito, a thick sauce made with onions and tomatoes. Once you get the ingredients in the pot, there's not much to do besides enjoy the aroma wafting from this hearty stew as it slowly cooks." ---------- If you follow the recipe as written, allow for overnight soaking and 2.5 hours cooking of the chickpeas. If you use canned chickpeas instead, just throw them in at the proper time of the recipe. I used canned. Also, keep in mind that the chorizo is an active flavor ingredient, so you want some strong flavor: I used up leftover chicken and bacon instead, so I added some extra of the spices plus some cayenne to boost the flavoring of the bacon. I also threw a julienned potato in, but make sure it has time to cook. Frozen spinach works fine

2 cups dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight and drained
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced

Stir in half of the spinach and cook until it is wilted, then stir in the remaining half of the spinach. Simmer the chickpea stew over moderately low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

GARBANZOS (CHICKPEAS) WITH CHORIZO AND SPINACH



Garbanzos (Chickpeas) With Chorizo and Spinach image

This is a healthy, filling dish that's simple to make. I found this recipe in the back of the 2012 edition of Eat This, Not That! by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding, and I made a few slight alterations of my own. A note from the authors about chorizo: There are two types: Mexican and Spanish. Mexican is spicy, lashed with ground chili. Spanish is cured, and derives most of its flavor (and color) from smoked paprika. Either will work in this recipe, but Spanish chorizo will work best. I served this with whole wheat biscuits.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 lb yukon gold potato, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

2 (14 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another few minutes, until it evenly coats the onions and garlic.

  • Add the garbanzos and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Just before you're ready to serve, remove the bay leaves, stir in the reserved chorizo and the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts.

FRIED CHICKPEAS WITH CHORIZO AND SPINACH



Fried Chickpeas With Chorizo and Spinach image

Chickpeas are often cooked with spinach, from India to the New World. But in southern Spain, they are mostly made with chorizo. Combine these ideas, and you have a rich, deep, full-flavored stew perfect for a fast dinner on a cold night.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, as dry as possible
Salt
black pepper
4 ounces chorizo, diced
1/2 pound spinach, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sherry
1 to 2 cups bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler.
  • Put three tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold chickpeas in one layer over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add chickpeas and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until chickpeas begin to brown, about 10 minutes, then add chorizo. Continue cooking for another 5 to 8 minutes or until chickpeas are crisp; use a slotted spoon to remove chickpeas and chorizo from pan and set aside.
  • Add the remainder of the 1/4 cup of oil to the pan; when it's hot, add spinach and sherry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook spinach over medium-low heat until very soft and the liquid has evaporated. Add chickpeas and chorizo back to the pan and toss quickly to combine; top with bread crumbs, drizzle with a bit more oil and run pan under the broiler to lightly brown the top. Serve hot or at room temperature.

CHICKPEA AND CHORIZO SOUP



Chickpea and Chorizo Soup image

This simple Spanish-style Chickpea and Chorizo soup is a favorite at our house, making an appearance at least once a month (if not more!) during the chilly months. The recipe starts off simply--sliced Spanish-style chorizo sauteed with onions and garlic until fragrant. Then you add some rinsed canned chickpeas, tomatoes, a few spices, and chicken broth, and let the whole thing simmer for about half an hour or so. And that's really it! Serve it up right away or divide into batches for lunch tomorrow. This thing can be heated and reheated half a dozen times, and it always tastes fantastic. A chunk of crusty bread is optional, but definitely recommended.
