Chorizo, Chickpea & Banana Stew image

This is a unique-tasting stew that's packed with flavor. You can use plantains instead of bananas, but they need to be cooked a bit longer. I make my own lean turkey chorizo for this, but any chorizo will do. If you're unconcerned about calories, serve this with some additional fried bananas - yum!
