  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by slicing the chorizo sausage into thin rounds. Dice the bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for about 5 minutes, until it starts to brown.

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

    Add Chickpeas and Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and canned diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
