Roasted Chickpeas and Chorizo

Roasted Chickpeas and Chorizo

This is such an easy and delicious one pot dinner. I love roasting chickpeas in lots of olive oil and paprika, they are slightly crispy on the outside with a touch of spice and then soft on the inside. Delicious with fresh rocket and couscous. Keeps in the fridge for many days so perfect packed lunch too!

Ingredients

  • 1 x tin of chickpeas

  • 150g sliced chorizo (a bit over half of a chorizo ring sausage)

  • Two peppers (red and orange ideally)

  • 1 onion

  • 3 x garlic cloves

  • Ground paprika

  • Ground coriander

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Greek yoghurt

  • 1/2 a lemon

  • Fresh parsley

(Serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side)

Method

  1. In a baking tray, add the drained chickpeas, sliced chorizo, chopped peppers, onion and crushed garlic.

  2. Cover in 1-2 tsp paprika and 1/2 tsp coriander

  3. Season with salt and pepper and add a couple of generous glugs of oil so that the chickpeas are well coated

  4. Cook for around 30 minutes and stir 15 minutes in!

  5. Whilst the chickpeas are cooking, squeeze a dash of lemon juice into around 4 tbsp of Greek yoghurt.

  6. Serve the roasted ingredients on couscous, rice or salad and add a few dollops of yoghurt and fresh parsley!
