Method

  1. Put a medium pan on the heat and tip in the tomatoes followed by a canful of water. While the tomatoes are heating, quickly chop the chorizo into chunky pieces and shred the cabbage.
  2. Pile the chorizo and cabbage into the pan with the chilli flakes and chickpeas, then crumble in the stock cube. Stir well, cover and leave to bubble over a high heat for 6 minutes until the cabbage is just tender. Ladle into bowls and eat with crusty or garlic bread.

Make it Indian

For an Indian-inspired version, use chicken plus a teaspoon of curry paste instead of the chorizo.

    Very bland on its own. You have to add flavor with seasoning.

    It's a lovely recipe - it also works substituting chickpeas for butter beans.

    Really enjoyed this! I didn't have any cabbage so used baby spinach which I added after the 6 minute cooking time (I turned off the heat added the spinach then replaced the lid until wilted). As per previous suggestions I used a tin of 'chopped tomatoes with garlic' & added some smoked paprika. Served with crusty bread, yum!

    Love this recipe, I've used various types of cabbage in this and though all good, savoy is still our favourite. I always add a half teaspoon of chilli paste to this as we like it hot and serve with a large dollop of sour cream on top!

    Had some chorizo to use up leftover from the Paella Fried Rice (on this site) so chose to make this. It was very easy and quick to make but next time I'd use less cabbage or substitute it for other veg out of personal preference. Overall fine but I'd recommend less cabbage more chorizo
