Smoky Seared Squash with Chorizo and Chickpeas

Scott Phillips

Servings:4 as a main course or 6 as a side

This richly flavored dish can easily be a meal on its own, but it also makes a great side dish for grilled chicken or lamb. If you can’t find baby squash, use full-size ones sliced into half-moons.

  • 2-1/2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 oz. cured Spanish chorizo, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons

Preparation

  • Heat 1-1/2 Tbs. of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chorizo, and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to a small heatproof bowl, leaving the fat in the skillet.
  • Add the squash and paprika to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, spread out the chickpeas on a cutting board, and smash lightly with the bottom of a mixing bowl or pot.
  • Add the sherry vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, the chickpeas, and the reserved chorizo (with any accumulated fat) to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, season to taste with more salt, drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbs. oil, and serve.

    I made this exactly as described for dinner tonight for my wife and myself. It was OK, but not stellar as I had hoped for. One thing that I find confusing is how anyone expects this tiny amount of food to feed four people as a main course. Even with a solid base of Quinoa, there were only two medium sized bowls.

    This was incredibly good! Hard to imagine how the tastes meld into something so great! Smashing the chick peas was new to me, and I loved the texture. I used tiny chopped chorizo for ease, and it was all so tasty! I will make this again and again, probably til we get tired of it!
