Now… onto Monday’s with Mami! I had to use the cazuela’s again, just to show how beautiful and versatile they are! I love cooking in them! This recipe uses traditional Spanish chorizo, garbanzos, and is infused with the flavours of cinnamon and cloves. A warming and comforting side dish perfect for a beautiful Autumn evening.

Method:

Mmm, this is REAL Spanish comfort food… 😉
Spanish food is so delicious ! Once I was traveling through Spain and I had a wonderful seafood dish … Marvelous !!!
This Chorizo Sausage is really tasty !!!!
Have a wonderful week , Diana 🙂
God bless your family !
I've had a dish nearly identical to this when I was in Alcoy, Spain a couple of years ago. It was AMAZING. Thanks so much for posting this – I *will* be making this! 🙂
Now… what I want to know is if you have any insider tips on how to make those wonderful empanadas that I buy in the bakeries in the Alicante and Valencia regions of Spain. My fave has – I think – cream cheese and carmelized onions. But I've had tomato and spinach, sausage and tomato, ham and cheese of some sort… I love those things! And I think they'd be great to see if my kids would like them!
i'm a hugggggggggggggggge fan of chorizo! i love how flavorful it is!

I love CHORIZO!

Congras to the winner.

Congratulations Dara! This looks like a hearty and flavorful dish, the cinnamon and cloves must make the house smell so good!
Love chorizo and this dish sounds just wonderful!
Awesome flavors and the dish looks amazing in the cazuela.
Wow! I love when I stumble upon recipes that use ingredients in a way that I never had before. This is a must try for me since I only ever have these peas with curry. Can't wait to surprise my taste buds.
Hello! What a wonerful recipe! Now that I'm back, I see I have missed lots of things! I'm taking a look to all the posts, but this recipe is great, you are a good Spanish culinary embassador!
Diana..that's a delightful dish. Great idea to cook garbanzo with chorizo sausage and those garlicky herby flavor. Thanks for sharing this :)))
Mmmm, I think I'd like to come live at your house on Mondays… I love how simple this dish is, but how incredibly delish it looks!
This sounds easy and delicious! I love chorizo in anything.
Thank you so much, Diana! I am thrilled to be the winner of this giveaway and can't wait to start using my new dishes.
Your recipe looks wonderful. Chorizo always had such a wonderful flavor to whatever it is cooked with.
Congratulations to Canuck! Such an interesting dish. Have never try it before. Thanks for sharing!
great dish! I love chorizo sausage, it really does have it's own unique flavor and spices.
Thank you everyone for the comments!
Dina, I do have a recipe for empanadas 🙂 Just look under my recipes link. Hope you like it!
Lisa – Thanks for stopping by!! When buying chorizo, make sure you're buying Spanish chorizo and not Mexican. 2 completely different types! Spanish Chorizo is dry cured where Mexican chorizo is raw and needs to be cooked.
Liz – I've missed you amiga!! Need to go visit your place as well! Besitos!!
I am a big fan of Spanish chorizo…especially the spicy variety! This dish is a wonderful cool weather meal.
A dish to warm the heart and the soul. Wonderful!
