– Spanish Chickpeas with Spicy Paprika Tomato Sauce –
These Spanish Chickpeas with Spicy Paprika Tomato Sauce are beyond easy to make, loaded with Spanish flavors and done within 20 minutes. You can serve these Spanish chickpeas as a side dish, tapas appetizer or even as a main course next to a crusty baguette. This dish is naturally gluten-free, vegan and super healthy, the perfect dish to start the new year. For this recipe I used jarred cooked chickpeas, just because it makes it so much easier, but you can always make your chickpeas from scratch.
– The Secret to this Dish is in the Paprika –
This recipe uses 2 types of smoked paprikas, the sweet kind and the hot kind. I used Kiva´s sweet smoked Spanish paprika and Kiva´s hot smoked Spanish paprika, both of these smoked paprikas are truly incredible and take this dish to the next level. If you have a jar of smoked paprika at home and it doesn´t state if it´s sweet or hot, it´s most likely sweet, it always states when it´s hot.

I live in the US, and I’d like to try this recipe. Is US tomato puree the same as the tomato puree in this recipe?

10 . Mar . 2022Just made this for our dinner & we loved it! I made a few adjustments & used the veggies I had left from my last grocery store run along with 1/2 cup of red lentils, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 poblano pepper & 1/2 jalapeno pepper, 1 last medium potato, double the garlic & onion along with a tsp. of our fave sriracha sauce. It’s delicious, healthy, easy & a time saver. We’ll definitely be making this on a regular basis. Thank you for such great recipes, Alberto!

07 . Apr . 2021Super delicious! I used 1/8tsp cayenne and 7/8tsp regular paprika for my ‘hot paprika’ and my result were great. I am a new to plant based whole food eating, and I am happy you have some classic dishes that fit my new way of life(no animal products). I had this dish with your lemony garlic roasted potatoes and a big piece of crusty bread *muah*, delish. Thank you for the recipes!
