This is a simple, pungent, meal in a bowl, made mainly from ingredients you're likely to have in the cupboard. Very good for a quick midweek dinner. You can add more chard if you like, or use other greens – cabbage, kale, shredded Brussels sprouts or spinach. Serve on its own or with crusty bread. If you're avoiding meat, this still tastes great without the chorizo. This reheats and freezes well.
