Garbanzos stew with Chorizo and Peppers

Garbanzos stew with Chorizo and Peppers

Jamie and Joe love this recipe, in fact it's a firm favourite with all the W&W team! This is a very traditional Spanish dish, which is as delicious as it is simple. The Garbanzos (chickpeas) make for a hugely satisfying meal and are perfect for soaking up the flavours of the red peppers, chorizo and paprika, giving you a rich and filling rustic Spanish stew. This wonderful dish has strong associations with the town of Burgos in northern Spain. Prep Time: 10 minutes

1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 red chilli (optional)
1 Alejandro chorizo barbacoa (cooking chorizo)
1 chopped red pepper, or a jar of Odysea grilled peppers

4 tbsp olive oil
1 pint of beef stock
1 jar Navarrico garbanzos (chickpeas)
2 pinches El Rey paprika

Salt to taste Fresh coriander to garnish
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pan. Gently sauté the chopped onions, garlic and chilli with a little salt and pepper. When the onions are translucent, add the chopped chorizo and peppers and continue to sauté until cooked through. Throw in half a glass of Rioja, and follow with the garbanzos.
Make one pint of beef stock and add to the pan with the paprika. Simmer on low. Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Serve in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped coriander and some crusty bread. WINE PAIRING
A rich chorizo stew like this requires a good hearty Rioja. We recommend our Beronia Reserva (£15.95), or if you really want to treat yourself the Monte Real Gran Reserva (£25.95).
