This is a clean and healthy version of a typical Spanish Style Seafood Stew.

Sometimes you just need a hearty, spicy stew to clear out your sinuses and fill your belly.

I’m thinking this is that stew for me.

I mean I’m a seafood lover to begin with and I also love my fair share of soups and stews in their saucy goodness, so a seafood stew always sounds good to me. As time goes by I’m learning to get into the spicy, having never had exposure before Chuck’s small introductions I was pretty much terrified of the stuff, chorizo included. I’m so happy I’ve become open to the idea of spicy, because while this isn’t overly hot, it’s got some kick.

This stew is based on a combination of Spanish dishes that I’ve had over the years. Basically I put a bunch of awesome Spanish recipes together to make my dream dish, and it came out really well. It’s also already pretty healthy so the only change I had to make to keep it clean was to use chicken chorizo.

Now when you’re serving this thing it’s probably best over rice but if you’re trying to slow carb it, like we are right now then I would just eat it as is, with a salad or add some more chickpeas to make it a little heartier.
