PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS, CHORIZO AND BREAD CRUMBS



Pasta With Chickpeas, Chorizo and Bread Crumbs image

If you're a planner, you can soak and cook dried chickpeas for this easy pasta dish, but if you're not, no worries. Using two or three cans makes it a real cinch; you'll have it on the table in about 20 minutes. First, brown the chorizo or kielbasa and set aside. Toast the bread crumbs in the same pan with a smattering of minced garlic, and set that aside, too. Dump the chickpeas into the pan with a bit of their liquid and let that reduce a bit while the pasta cooks. After draining the pasta, toss it with the chickpeas and sausage, and heat through. Serve it in big bowls with bread crumbs scattered over the top and a few aggressive grinds of the pepper mill. Our favorite pasta shape for this recipe is conchiglie, or shells, because the chickpeas nestle inside like they belong there, but it will work with almost any small cut pasta.

Categories     weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt and black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1/4 pound cooked Spanish chorizo or kielbasa, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
4 cups cooked chickpeas, with their liquid
1/2 pound pasta, like shells, ziti or penne (even smaller cut pasta is good here)
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add chorizo; heat, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is lightly browned, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and then the garlic; cook until it colors lightly, then add bread crumbs. Toast, shaking skillet frequently, until bread crumbs turn golden brown, about 10 minutes; if necessary, add a little more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl.
  • Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to skillet and, over medium heat, chickpeas and about 1 cup of their liquid. Cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite tender; drain, then add it to chickpeas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender; stir in chorizo, heat through, and taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve chickpea-pasta mixture in bowls, garnished with crisp bread crumbs and a sprinkling of parsley.

CHORIZO CORN BREAD



CHORIZO CORN BREAD image

Categories     Cheese     Brunch     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lb. unsalted butter (at room temp)
2 cups polenta (which is a really coarse corn meal)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbs. Baking powder
3 cup jalapeño en escabeche (I finely diced the jalapeño only)
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tsp. salt
2 2/3 cups buttermilk (or substitute Horizon organic plain whole milk yogurt)
: cup grated cheddar cheese (for the ease of it I used Trader Joe=s shredded 3 cheese blend)
3 heaping tablespoons of Honey
1 14 : oz. (418 grams) of cream style golden sweet corn
2 cups chorizo sausage (browned and fat drained out) **Recipe follows
**Almost 2 cups chile powder - New Mexico
5/8 cup vinegar
1¼ tablespoon oregano
1¼ tablespoon salt
1¼ teaspoon pepper
either 4 cloves garlic or 4 teaspoons granulated garlic
1½ lb. lean ground chuck
1½ lb. lean ground pork

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, use a large spoon to combine softened butter, polenta, flour, baking powder, eggs and salt, until just mixed. Fold in cheese. Finally, mix in buttermilk, honey, creamed corn and chorizo. Prepare Bundt pan by spraying oil into it to keep the corn bread from sticking to it. Fold the cornbread batter into Bundt pan. Bake 45 - 50 minutes until firm to the touch and golden. Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and top with a touch of chopped cilantro and serve with sliced tomatoes which are generously peppered. (I found wonderful red and yellow tomatoes which looked really pretty on the plate with the corn bread.) Finally, sprinkle with a touch of crumbled *Cotija cheese. (If you can=t find the Cotija, then you will want to salt the tomatoes too.) *Cotija cheese is a dry salty crumbly cheese usually found at Hispanic markets. **Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Let age overnight in refrigerator. Cook until meat is fully cooked in a skillet on medium heat adding olive oil as needed if too dry.

4 ounces tomato paste
1 bunch broccoli rabe, chopped
