Categories     main-dish

Time 10h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound chickpeas, soaked in 2 quarts water for 6 hours or overnight, and drained
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound soft Spanish chorizo
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green or red pepper, chopped
2 plump garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes, lightly drained
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 dried cayenne pepper, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the drained chickpeas with enough water to cover by 2 inches in a large soup pot or Dutch oven, add the bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and skim off any foam. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add salt to taste (about a tablespoon), and simmer for another hour, until tender. Drain over a bowl and retain 2 cups of the cooking liquid. Set aside.
  • While the beans are cooking, heat a large, heavy casserole over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the sausages. Brown the sausages on all sides and remove from the heat. Slice and set aside.
  • Add the olive oil to the pan, turn the heat down to medium, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, and add the diced pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onion and pepper are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, stir together for a minute or two, until fragrant, and stir in the tomatoes, sliced sausage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring often over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly. Add the chickpeas, dried cayenne or chili flakes, and the 2 cups of their liquid that you set aside. Bring back to a simmer, stir together, turn the heat to very low, cover and cook gently for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the beans are very tender and the broth fragrant. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve.

I made this with pork and fennel sausages, triple-smoked bacon and ingredients I had in the pantry/fridge. Delicious - but if you start with tasty sausages and bacon, you can't go wrong! You could make this with any vegetables you happen to have.

Provided by RonaNZ

Categories     Stew

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil
500 g pork sausage (6 sausages)
100 g bacon
2 onions
400 g canned tomatoes (tinned)
420 g canned chick-peas (tinned)
1 leek
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup parsley
250 g cauliflower
250 g broccoli

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages. They don't have to be cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Cut the bacon into strips and fry in the oil.
  • Add sliced onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
  • Cut the sausage into slices and put in a casserole dish.
  • Add the tomatoes, drained chickpeas and chopped leek.
  • If there is a lot of fat in the bacon you may want to drain the fat off the onions and bacon. Add them to the casserole dish.
  • Add paprika, salt, pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Dried mixed herbs or dried thyme will do.
  • Finely chop the parsley and add half of it to the dish.
  • Cover and bake in the oven at 170C/340F for 35 minutes.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, steam some cauliflower and/or broccoli or cook in the microwave.
  • Stir the steamed vegetables into the casserole.
  • Garnish with the reserved parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality smoked sausage. Look for one that is made with all-natural ingredients and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the chickpeas in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours or until tender.
  • Serve the Cuban smoked sausage with chickpeas with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.

Conclusion:

Cuban smoked sausage with chickpeas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
