  • 1 x 400g tin chickpeas
  • 75g/2½oz curly kale

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned.
  • While the onion is cooking, cut the chorizo into roughly 1.5cm/½in slices. Stir the chorizo slices and hot smoked paprika into the onion and garlic mixture and fry for a further 1-2 minutes.

  • Add the kale to the stew and continue to simmer for a further 1-2 minutes, or until tender. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • To serve, ladle the stew into serving bowls and serve with crusty bread.
