Chorizo, Chickpea & Banana Stew image

This is a unique-tasting stew that's packed with flavor. You can use plantains instead of bananas, but they need to be cooked a bit longer. I make my own lean turkey chorizo for this, but any chorizo will do. If you're unconcerned about calories, serve this with some additional fried bananas - yum!

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less bananas or adding some sour cream to balance out the flavors.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo or add some sour cream to tone down the heat.
