Method

  1. In a large sauté pan, heat a good glug of oil over a medium heat. Chop the chorizo into 5mm thick discs and add them to the pan. Fry, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until cooked and just starting to brown.
  2. Add the chickpeas to the pan and stir to coat, then add the stock and cider. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook slowly to reduce, until the liquid in the pan is sparse and thick. Remove from the heat, add an extra splash of cider (see tip) and season to taste. Scatter the parsley over to serve.

  1. While chickpeas are best for this dish, you could use those gorgeous, plump butter beans from a jar instead.

    Adding the splash of cider at the end helps to balance the dish and give it zing.
