Chickpea stew with chorizo is the perfect recipe for cold winter days. Nutritious and protein-rich, this meal can be easily customizable to your liking.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Add onion and saute altogether with garlic for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Add diced potatoes and sliced chorizo and cook for about a minute before adding the chickpeas in. Pour in stock, tomato paste, pureed tomatoes and half of fresh parsley.
Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes (or until the potatoes are cooked through). Add broccoli and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the broccoli is to your liking.
To thicken the soup a bit, in a small saucepan melt the butter. Stir in flour. Pour in about 2/3 cup cold water and stir until lump-free. Add this to the stew and stir. Bring to a boil and turn the heat off.
Finally, throw in the rest of the parsley, season with black pepper and taste. Add salt, if needed.
Serve warm!
Notes
Olive oil can be substituted with other cooking oil (i.e.: vegetable, sunflower,…).
Use either yellow or white onion.
If using regular (dulce = sweet) chorizo, you can add more. It can also be substituted with another sausage that you like (i.e. Polish kielbasa). To add an extra spicy kick, use red pepper flakes to your liking.
I am using cooked chickpeas. You can use dried but you need to pre-cook it. If you wanted to add dried chickpeas (soaked), you would need to increase the liquids as it would soak up a lot. Also, more seasoning might be needed.
To feed more people, you can add more stock, if you like. Any stock will work – vegetable, chicken broth, homemade turkey stock,…
Either fresh or frozen broccoli will work.
