A hearty and flavorful dish combining chickpeas and spicy sausage, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes golden and fragrant.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from sticking to the pan.
Slice the sausage into rounds and add them to the pan, cooking until they release their flavors.
Cook the sausage until slightly browned for maximum flavor.
Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Ensure the chickpeas are well mixed with the sausage and onion for even flavor.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the dish before adding salt as the sausage may already be salty.
Serve the dish warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
