Chickpea, chorizo & spinach stew
This vibrant stew blends smoky chorizo, tender chickpeas, and wilted spinach into a deeply satisfying bowl of comfort. The chorizo lends a rich, slightly spicy depth, while a whisper of cinnamon adds warmth without overpowering, creating layers of flavor that unfold with every bite. The chickpeas hold their shape, offering a creamy yet sturdy bite, while the spinach melts into the broth, adding a fresh, earthy contrast. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top delivers a bright, fiery finish that cuts through the richness, making this dish as rewarding to eat as it is to make.
