Squid, chorizo and chickpeas

One-dish meals are winners. Most are quick and easy to prepare and of course there is the bonus of less washing up.

Ingredients

6 medium	Tomatoes, chopped
1	Onion, peeled, quartered and sliced
4 cloves	Garlic, peeled then smashed
500 g	Squid ring, thawed if frozen (Main)
1 can	Chickpeas, 390g, washed and drained (Main)
3 Tbsp	Olive oil
1 tsp	Smoked paprika
1 cup	Water
1 bunch	Thyme, tied with string
3	Chorizo sausages
1 ½ cups	Frozen peas

Directions

1. Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, squid rings, chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, water and thyme in a Dutch oven or heavy-based saucepan. Cover, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Squeeze the meat from the sausages, making 4 little balls from each. Add to the saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peas and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
3. Serve in bowls with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the juices.
