Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Start by dicing the onions, chopping the garlic and slicing the chorizo. Drain the chickpeas and the olives. Set aside until later.
Step 2
Set a large, oven-proof frying pan or casserole dish over a medium-low heat and add half of the oil. Once hot, add the onions along with a large pinch of salt and sweat for 10-12 minutes, until softened. Increase the heat to medium, add the chorizo and fry for a few minutes, until the chorizo has a little colour and the onions start to turn pink from the chorizo oil. Stir in half of the chopped garlic and the smoked paprika and cook for a few minutes, until fragrant and the onions are well coated in the spices.
Step 3
Pour in the tinned cherry tomatoes. Squish the green olives using your fingers and pop these in as well along with the drained chickpeas. Season generously with salt, black pepper and a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Use a wooden spoon to break up the cherry tomatoes a little. Add a splash of water (you can use the cherry tomato tin filled 1/3rd of the way) and bring to a simmer while you make the smokey garlic crumb.
Step 4
To make the smokey crumb, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining garlic, the lemon zest, the remaining olive oil and season well. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle over the breadcrumbs. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden. Serve the pan in the middle of the table for all to enjoy with a wedge of lemon if you wish.
