Chickpeas with chorizo

Serves:

Ingredients

• 40ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
• 2 chorizo sausages, sliced into 1cm thick discs
• 1 brown onion, finely diced
• 1 1/2 cup chickpeas, soaked overnight then cooked until tender or 1 tin (400g) chickpeas, rinsed
• 1 tin (400g) diced tomatoes
• chilli flakes to taste
• 1 handful basil, roughly chopped

Method

Place the olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to a medium heat.

Brown the chorizo slices then remove from the pan, then cook the onions for 5 minutes or until nice and soft.

Return the chorizo to the pan and add the chickpeas, tomatoes and chilli flakes. Add a little water if you think the mixture is looking a bit dry.

Cook at a gentle simmer for 15 minutes. Scatter with basil and serve.
