GARBANZOS CON CHORIZO - CHICKPEAS WITH CHORIZO
Tapas are an institution everywhere in Spain. These are tidbits of food for nibbling while chatting with friends and can be made with seafood, meat, eggs and vegetables, to be served hot or cold. Garbanzos, chorizo and Spanish pimientos del piquillo are some of the classic tapa ingredients. For an authentic touch, serve it in little earthenware dishes called "cazuelas", as it is served throughout Andalucia. Adapted from Beverly LeBlanc's book "World Food - SPAIN"

CHICKPEAS AND CHORIZO
Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, and chorizo is a classic Spanish dish sometimes served as tapas and sometimes as a full stew. This recipe adds potatoes to make a it little more hearty as a full meal. Serve with a citrus and fennel salad and some crusty bread for a full meal. I like to leave the garlic cloves whole as above and spread the cloves on the bread during meal. If you don't, then reduce garlic but chop and don't add until after liquid has been added or it may scorch.

Steps:
- Put garbanzo beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Halve both the red bell pepper and green bell pepper from top to bottom. Remove and discard the stem, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until their skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and tightly seal bowl with plastic wrap to steam the peppers as they cool until the skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.
- Heat canola oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes; add chorizo and continue to cook and stir until chorizo is hot, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir peppers, onion, garlic cloves, paprika, and salt into the potato mixture; cook, stirring infrequently, until the onion softens, about 10 minutes more.
- Stir soaked garbanzo beans into the mixture. Pour sherry over everything. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: This step is essential to soften the chickpeas and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can also quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then turning off the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use good quality chorizo: The flavor of the chorizo will greatly impact the overall dish, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a chorizo that is flavorful and not too greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chorizo and chickpeas, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
- Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or paprika to taste.
Conclusion:
Garbanzos y chorizo is a classic Spanish dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of chickpeas, chorizo, and spices creates a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. Serve it with rice or bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
