Ceci, chickpeas, garbanzos, –a rose by any other namef” This ubiquitous legume is the seed of the chickpea plant. Filled with protein this versatile little bean can be found year round. You have the choice of opening a can (rinse them please) or buying them dried and making them from scratch. For dry ceci, buy uniform sized peas and avoid ones that look cracked or broken. Soak them overnight, drain and replace the water, and then boil them for an hour or fork tender. |
