Oven Baked Chorizo with Sweet Potato & Chickpeas

June 9, 2016 by Laura Scott 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sometimes dishes come together in the right kind of way and this is one such dish. Oven baked chorizo with sweet potatoes and chickpeas sounds fairly wintry but in fact, with the addition of fresh green baby spinach, cool and crumbly Feta cheese and plenty of chopped coriander it is transformed into something that would work as a brilliantly as an accompaniment to a summer bbq.

Meaty, spicy and sticky from being baked in the oven for an hour, this is the way I will now be enjoying my chorizo over the summer along with a few chorizo and prawn skewers for good measure. Adding chipotle chilli to this dish makes a huge difference in it’s resulting flavour so if you can get yourself some (whole, paste or powder) you certainly won’t regret it. Try adding some chipotle to your bbq sauce, mayo, thick yoghurt, home-made tomato sauce or even shop bought ketchup to take it up a notch in taste sensation.

I thought the ideal dish for baking my chorizo in would be my Le Creuset baking dish which, supplied to me by The Steamer Trading Cookshop. It’s one of those dishes that not only oven bakes evenly, it washes up like a dream and comes in a range of pretty colours such as this pale minty green, so it’s good enough to serve straight from the dish.

  5. Cover with tin foil then place in a pre-heated oven (180 degrees ) and cook for 1 hour.

This dish could be made vegetarian by replacing the chorizo with vegetrain sausages or fried pieces of firm tofu.
It also freezes well.

    I adore chorizo, we nearly always have some in the kitchen, usually Unearthed’s one which we love. This looks like a great barbeque side dish, bet the flavours of the paprika are so good with smokey chargrilled meat.

      Agree Kavey, it’s the flavours that I associate with BBQ too, paprika, chipotle and pleaty of spicy chorizo!

    Beautiful combination of ingredients so I would make it veggie by leaving out the chorizo

    We don’t eat a lot of meat, but I do like adding chorizo to stews and things, as a little bit adds so much flavour.

      You are right Dannii, chorizo adds so much flavour you don’t need to add much at all to get the smoky richness from it.

    Mmmn I love this kind of a dish for parties and BBQ’s – something that’s easy to throw into the oven but definitely has guests asking for the recipe. I’ll be sending them here too!

      I love it too as it cooks itself in the oven so no risk of burning!
