Fried chickpeas with chorizo and spinach

There are some food combinations that I am a sucker for. I adore pork, I adore tomatillos and I adore Mexican food, and the combination of these three is my food bliss. Peanut butter and chocolate. Onions and peppers. I also happen to love chorizo, chickpeas and spinach.

Sidenote: I try to get spinach into everything. Seriously. Ask Shaun. I’ll wait.

Recently, Mark Bittman got these three together for a flavorful and easy dish, and tonight I ate it.

Fried chickpeas with chorizo and spinach

This is a great weeknight dinner — filling and inexpensive, light on meat, full of leafy greens. The breadcrumbs added at the end provide a great texture and perhaps more importantly a touch of what I’ll call delicious carb-y-ness. I threw in an onion at the beginning, and I could see a chopped bell pepper working as well.

What are you waiting for?
