1 tbsp olive oil, 3 chorizo sausages
Add the diced onion, bell peppers, garlic, and potatoes. Stir to combine. Pour over the chickpeas including the liquid (aquafaba) and the tin of diced tomatoes. Add the dried oregano and bay leaf.

Notes
Storage: Leftover stew can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 3 month although the texture of the potatoes might be impacted as they can easily become grainy when defrosted.
