Recently JR asked me to cut back on the spiciness in our dinners, so I substituted a smoked sausage for the chorizo. I also cut back the amount of garbanzos used and served this over rice. The only thing this meal was missing was a side of avocado!
This would also make a great vegetarian meal by omitting the sausage, increasing the garbanzos and using vegetable broth.
The changes I made are included here:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz. smoked turkey sausage, sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbsp capers
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 15oz can garbanzo beans
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 roma tomatoes peeled, seeded and diced (or 1/2 cup of canned diced tomatoes)
Add pepper, onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown. Add cilantro, stir and allow to cook 1 minute.
Add capers, vinegar, beans, tomato sauce, chicken stock and tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Add sausage to pan, stir and allow to simmer an additional 10-15 minutes. Serve over rice if desired. Serves 4.
