I was home alone the other night so made the following dish from the book. Dead simple and most delicious but will be even better as the nights get cooler.
Chorizo & Chickpea StewA cosy, warm stew whipped up with minimal fuss ... My favourite kind!
Serves 4
· 150g chorizo, sliced
· 400g cherry tomatoes
· 1 can (400g) chickpeas, rinsed
· 2 cups (500ml) chicken stock
Heat a deep pot and cook the chorizo until browned, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, and stock. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: An ideal accompaniment is a quick, creamy polenta made simply by adding polenta to boiling water, whisking until absorbed then stirring in cream, Parmesan, sea salt, and pepper.
