Chickpeas with chorizo, bacon and tomato - in Spain, chickpeas, like all beans and pulses, are much revered and can sometimes fetch surprisingly high prices. This is a dish which showcases them well. If you prefer, you can buy dried chickpeas, then soak overnight and boil. You will then need to add half a teaspoon of salt.
