Chickpeas and Chorizo

Chickpea chorizo is a popular Spanish dish served as tapas — and sometimes as a full stew. This recipe includes potatoes to make the dish heartier. Serve with a citrus and fennel salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal. I like to leave the garlic cloves whole and spread them on bread during the meal. If you don't care to do this, reduce the amount of garlic and chop before adding with the sherry.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ pound dry garbanzo beans

  • 1 red bell pepper

  • 1 green bell pepper

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 4 red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 9 ounces Spanish-style chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 yellow onion, cut into large chunks

  • 8 cloves garlic, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • ¼ cup dry sherry, or more to taste

Directions

  1. Place beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans for 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.

  2. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  3. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl, seal tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam until skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.

  5. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes. Add chorizo and continue to cook until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in sliced peppers, onion, garlic, paprika, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 10 minutes.

  6. Stir in beans, then pour in sherry and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Mozzarella sticks are very easy to make at home. They're deep-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, with melted gooey cheese on the inside. They're so good and take just minutes to fry! Try dipping them in a marinara sauce!

For this lazy wonton soup, you skip making filled wontons, and drop pork meatballs and quartered wonton wrappers right into the gingery, flavorful broth. This recipe is SO delicious!

Lamb and Rice Stuffed Grape Leaves

Lamb and Rice Stuffed Grape Leaves

These lamb and rice stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) take some time and effort to put together, so maybe make a double batch. In restaurants these are usually meatless, but I love the lamb in these. No matter what you use, how much rice you use will affect how much liquid you need.

Bourbon Pepper Pan Sauce

Bourbon Pepper Pan Sauce

Mastering pan sauces is one of the most important but easiest steps towards producing legit restaurant-quality dishes at home. Assemble all the sauce ingredients before cooking the steak so you can make the sauce during the 5-minute resting time for steak. The rich, sweet, peppery flavor profile also works wonderfully with pork chops and grilled chicken. You can also switch up the bourbon for another liquor, since this really is just a technique recipe.
