In a large casserole dish, add 3-4 tablespoon of olive oil and heat up.
Add the sliced onions, smokey tomatoes, chorizo, garlic, cumin and paprika.
Stir on medium heat for about 15mins until onions coloured and it all forms a base.
Add the aubergine and cook for 10mins until soft.
Add the sweet potatoes cook for 10mins.
Add the passata and simmer for 20-30mins.
Add the chickpeas, adjust seasoning and simmer for another 10mins.
