Nutritional benefits
Cod provides lean protein, and chickpeas add plant protein and filling fibre. The chorizo, in a small quantity, flavours the whole dish with little fat. A complete, balanced one-dish meal, where a touch of cured sausage is enough to lift everything. Naturally gluten-free and lactose-free.
Variations and substitutions
- Without chorizo: with smoked paprika alone (lighter).
- With spinach added at the end of cooking.
- With hake or pollock.
- Spicier: add chilli.
Storage and making ahead
Keeps for 2 days; reheat gently so that the fish does not dry out.
💡 Good to know
A small amount of chorizo is enough to flavour the whole dish: there is no need to use much, which is lighter and just as tasty.
