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.

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)

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

GARBANZOS AND GREENS WITH CHORIZO



Garbanzos and Greens with Chorizo image

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 onion, stuck with a clove
1 small carrot, peeled, cut in 2-inch chunks
1 small bay leaf
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
Salt and pepper
6 ounces Spanish chorizo, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pimentón
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
1 pound kale or chard, washed and cut in wide ribbons
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted, optional

Steps:

  • Pick over chickpeas, put them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Drain chickpeas (they should have swelled considerably) and put them in a soup pot. Cover with 6 cups water, add the onion stuck with clove, the carrot and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and let chickpeas simmer gently. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until chickpeas are tender. (If chickpeas seem to be drying out during cooking, add 1/2 cup water to keep them submerged in liquid.) Season generously with salt, and leave chickpeas to cool in the broth (cooking liquid). You should have about 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas. (They may be cooked a day in advance, if desired.)
  • Put olive oil in a deep, wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and let it fry a bit, then turn heat to medium. Add the garlic, pimentón and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, and stir to coat. Add the cooked chickpeas and 1/2 cup broth. Bring to a simmer, add the greens and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to allow the greens to wilt. Put on the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until greens are completely cooked. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. To serve as a tapa or side dish, transfer to a cazuela or deep serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and the pine nuts, if using. Alternatively, to serve as soup, spoon the garbanzo-and-greens mixture into 4 deep soup bowls. Ladle 1 cup heated broth into each bowl, and sprinkle soup with the remaining cumin.

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.

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.

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.
