Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 3: 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp spicy! Peel, then coarsely grate carrot. Core, then cut pepper into ½-inch pieces. Cut or tear ciabatta into ½-inch pieces.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add ½ tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer peppers to a plate and set aside.
Reheat the same pot over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chorizo and carrots. Cook, breaking up chorizo into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add half the Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend and ¼ tsp chili flakes. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
Add crushed tomatoes, chickpeas with their liquid, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 7-8 min. Add peppers and spinach. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until spinach wilts, 1 min.
Meanwhile, add ciabatta, remaining Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Toast in the middle of the oven, tossing halfway through, until golden, 5-6 min.
Divide stew between bowls. Top with spiced croutons.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Rich, smoky, and well-spiced, with the chorizo and paprika blend drawing consistent praise from reviewers. Some found the tomato base a touch strong; adding a small amount of sugar or swapping in plain crushed tomatoes can balance it out.
- Ease of prep: Reviewers consistently found this a quick and straightforward one-pot meal that comes together with minimal effort.
- Suggestions: Add fresh garlic, a splash of vinegar, or worcestershire sauce to deepen the flavour; some reviewers also recommend reducing the water to keep the stew from becoming too thin. Consider adding extra peppers or a handful of additional greens if you prefer a more vegetable-forward bowl.
- Leftovers: The stew keeps well and several reviewers enjoyed it for lunch the following day.
- Croutons: The spiced ciabatta croutons were a favourite detail — they absorb the stew beautifully, and making them in an air fryer takes about five minutes if you prefer that method.
