Sliced sausage is seared until crisp-edged, then simmered with chickpeas, tomatoes, and smoked paprika until the sauce thickens and clings. A scattering of fresh parsley brightens the rich, smoky flavors, making this a satisfying weeknight dinner that needs only crusty bread on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (15 oz each)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, with juices (14.5 oz)
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp at the edges, about 5 minutes.

  2. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  3. Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  5. Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes with their juices, and chicken stock. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir to combine.

  6. Return the sausage to the skillet, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chickpeas are tender, about 15 minutes.

  7. Stir in the sherry vinegar and taste, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.

  8. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
