Method

1
Drain the cooked chickpeas, rinse them under the tap and pat dry with paper towels so they brown better.
2
Cut the chorizo into thin slices or dice, slice the onion and slice the garlic.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the chorizo 3 minutes over medium heat to release its fat. Remove and set aside.
4
In the same fat, sweat the onion 5 minutes and add the sliced garlic, cooking 1 more minute without burning.
5
Turn up the heat, add the chickpeas and sauté 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
6
Return the chorizo, take the skillet off the heat and sprinkle with the sweet paprika, stirring well.
7
Adjust the salt, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
