Mashing chickpeas into the sizzling chorizo adds heft while keeping this meal light on the meat. If you normally throw the stems from a bunch of cilantro or parsley straight into the garbage...DON'T! They're delicious, and can be diced finely and stirred into all kinds of things—like this yogurt sauce.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
