SERVES

Serves 4

ingredients

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
IN STOCK
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 medium courgette, sliced into long thin strips, about 5mm wide
  • 1 medium aubergine, chopped into 1cm pieces
  • 200g tomato sofrito (from a jar)
IN STOCK
  • 200g cooked chickpeas
IN STOCK
  • 320g baby spinach
  • Fresh herbs
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a saucepan, add the red pepper and aubergine and fry for 6-8 minutes, until browning at the edges. Check the aubergine is nearly cooked, then add the courgettes, a pinch of sea salt, and another tbsp of olive oil. Fry for a further 2 minutes.
  2. Add the sofrito, chickpeas along with 200ml of their cooking water, so they are half submerged. If using jarred chickpeas, add their liquid, topped up if necessary to 200ml. Bring to the boil, taste the liquid and add a little salt if needed, then turn down the heat to a simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Take off the heat and stir in the spinach. Leave to rest for a minute, then stir through the herbs and serve.

PAELLA VALENCIANA
PAELLA VALENCIANA

Paella Valenciana is the original paella, deeply rooted in the traditions of Valencia. Its name comes from the Valencian word for pan, reflecting the dish’s humble beginnings when it was cooked outdoors over a wood fire. The classic recipe brings together chicken, rabbit, beans, saffron and rice, with each ingredient adding its own character without overpowering the rest. A truly great paella is crowned with the socarrat - the golden, caramelised crust at the base of the rice. In Valencia, it’s still enjoyed the traditional way: eaten straight from the pan with wooden spoons.

CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO
CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO

Enhance flavour-packed chorizo by poaching it in cider, a classic Asturian tapa. For a twist, try using chistorra - a long, thin Basque chorizo. Cut into 2cm pieces, fry until the skin colours, then cover the chistorra with cloudy cider and simmer. The longer it cooks, the richer and more glaze-like the sauce. Serve with plenty of bread; your guests will want to mop up every drop of the sauce.
