Chorizo and Chickpeas



The title of this recipe is pretty much the whole recipe.. there are two types of chorizo - Spanish, which is cured and ready to eat, and Mexican which is raw pork or beef. This recipes uses Mexican, and I prefer the pork. Chorizo is so packed with flavor it needs very little added to complete a dish. Make a double batch, if you have hungry teenagers in the house, you will be happy to have leftovers.
