Spanish Chicken and Chickpea Stew

with mushrooms, charred red pepper and roasted baby potatoes

Cooking Steps

Roast the Baby Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9. Halve the potatoes lengthways, quartering any larger pieces, and pop them onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil, half the paprika, season with salt and pepper. Rub the oil over the potatoes then lay them cut-side down on the baking tray. Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.

Prep the Rest
2

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Quarter the mushrooms. Chop any larger pieces so all are evenly sized.
Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).

3

Place a large pan over high heat (no oil).

Once the pot is hot, add the pepper and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time—you want the pepper to pick up some nice colour.

4

Reduce the heat to a medium-high and add a good drizzle of oil to the pot. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and mushrooms to the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

5

Add the garlic, cumin, remaining paprika, half the cinnamon (double for 4p) and fry for a minute. Then pop in the chickpeas, passata, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp sugar (double both for 4p). Cover and simmer for 8-10 mins. 
IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add a splash of water if required.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
