A perfect meal has multiple levels of flavor and textures, bright colors and tastes, and healthy(ish) choices. It's all about enjoyment. Enjoy the process, the presentation and the just rewards...eating! Be fearless!
I've always been a culinary improvisor which means I get my kicks out of recipe development. In the FOODalogue kitchen each meal is an adventure and the journey is as exciting as the destination. My favorite kitchen tools are imagination and intuition. I rarely look at a recipe, not even my own!
On these pages, I suggest food pairings and techniques to be experimented with...in your own kitchen...to your own spice levels...and to your preferred portion sizes.

lol. I would’ve sauteed onion, garlic, and tomato in olive oil and add it to the cocido or potaje with some Pimenton dulce. or boil with garlic n onion.
im sure it was good though
There is so much flavor in the chorizo (pimenton included) that it doesn’t need anything though I did include garlic and oregano for the garbanzos and broccoli rabe. Pricking the sausage so that the juices (and fat) ran out as it cooked flavored everything perfectly. I did the chorizo and garbanzos in the oven and the greens stove top, adding them to the cazuela a little before it was ready to come out of the oven so it too benefitted from the juices. P.S. I rarely boil anything.
Que viva Espana. It’s only 10:45 AM and I want that for breakfast…lovely.
I would happily follow you to Spain in your kitchen Joan.
More, more y mas garbanzo beans!!!

This looks delicious, Joan! Love chorizo and garbanzo!
Oh! Lord knows I love me some garbanzos, in all forms, really! I’ll pass on the chorizo, sausage, etc.. (which we actually add sometimes to ours–well traditionally speaking), but I’ll eat all around it!
isn’t it awesome how sometimes the dishes with just a few ingredients pack so much flavor!? Love everything about this dish. It’d be even better with a soft boiled egg on top.
