Ingredients

1 tin Chickpeas

1 Red Capsicum

1 Red Onion

80g Chorizo

1 cup Rocket

20g Red Pepper Hummus

2 Garlic Cloves

1 tsp Paprika

1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes

Fresh Parsley to garnish

1 tin Chopped Tomatoes

Method

Slice the chorizo and place in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook until it turns golden, then remove it from the pan, draining excess fat on a paper towel.

In the same pan, sauté the sliced onion and chopped red pepper for about 10 minutes. Incorporate the sliced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute.

Add the can of tomatoes to the pan, refilling half of the empty can with water and pouring it in as well. Follow this with the drained chickpeas, paprika, chilli flakes (if using), and hummus. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.

Adjust the seasoning to your liking. You might find a squeeze of lemon enhances the flavor by cutting through the richness of the chorizo. Finally, stir in the rocket and roughly chopped parsley.

Your Zesty Chorizo-Chickpea Stew is now ready to be savored! Enjoy this hearty, flavorful, and nutritious dish.
