CHICKPEAS AND CHORIZO



Chickpeas and Chorizo image

Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, and chorizo is a classic Spanish dish sometimes served as tapas and sometimes as a full stew. This recipe adds potatoes to make a it little more hearty as a full meal. Serve with a citrus and fennel salad and some crusty bread for a full meal. I like to leave the garlic cloves whole as above and spread the cloves on the bread during meal. If you don't, then reduce garlic but chop and don't add until after liquid has been added or it may scorch.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews

Time 9h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ pound dry garbanzo beans
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
9 ounces Spanish-style chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 yellow onion, cut into large chunks
8 cloves garlic, or more to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
¼ cup dry sherry, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Put garbanzo beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Halve both the red bell pepper and green bell pepper from top to bottom. Remove and discard the stem, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until their skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and tightly seal bowl with plastic wrap to steam the peppers as they cool until the skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.
  • Heat canola oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes; add chorizo and continue to cook and stir until chorizo is hot, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir peppers, onion, garlic cloves, paprika, and salt into the potato mixture; cook, stirring infrequently, until the onion softens, about 10 minutes more.
  • Stir soaked garbanzo beans into the mixture. Pour sherry over everything. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

SPICY CHORIZO PASTA



Spicy Chorizo Pasta image

Macaroni and chorizo is classic Spanish comfort food. While iterations abound, it typically starts by frying smoked chorizo with a little onion, adding canned or fresh tomato and maybe some oregano, then letting it simmer into a thick tomato sauce. It's often topped with cheese and baked like a mac and cheese. Instead of fresh tomatoes, this recipe uses highly concentrated tomato paste, which is made by cooking down tomatoes for ages so you don't have to. The paste fries in the chorizo's rendered drippings for a very fast, silky, smoky and spicy sauce. When shopping for this recipe, look for Spanish chorizo, a shelf-stable sausage usually found near salami and other cured meats in the grocery store. Mexican chorizo is sold fresh and is made with different chiles and spices.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound orecchiette or other short pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
4 ounces Spanish chorizo, casing removed (see Tip), if necessary, and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons double concentrate tomato paste (or 6 tablespoons canned tomato paste)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and chorizo over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is crisp and brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a plate.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and add the tomato paste and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste is caramelized and a shade darker, 3 to 5 minutes, covering the pan if the splattering is wild. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper, then remove from heat.
  • Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the tomato mixture. Return the pot to the medium-high heat, and stir vigorously until the pasta is well coated. Add more pasta water until the sauce is glossy. Stir in the chorizo and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chorizo: For this recipe, Spanish chorizo is the best choice. It has a smoky, spicy flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the peppers and onions.
  • Slice the chorizo thinly: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much chorizo to the pan, it will steam instead of fry. Cook the chorizo in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It has a fruity, peppery flavor that will enhance the other ingredients.
  • Cook the peppers and onions until they are soft: This will take about 10 minutes. Don't rush this step, as it is important for developing the flavor of the dish.
  • Add the chorizo and cook until it is browned: This will take about 5 minutes. Stir the chorizo occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes: This will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the dish.
  • Add the stock and simmer for 15 minutes: This will help to thicken the sauce and bring all of the flavors together.
  • Serve the stew with fried croutons: This is a great way to add a crunchy texture to the dish. You can also serve it with rice or pasta.

Conclusion:

This chorizo with sweet pepper and onion stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. The stew is flavorful, hearty, and filling, and the fried croutons add a nice crunch. Serve it with rice or pasta, and you have a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
