A hearty olive-oil dish of cooked chickpeas with onion and tomato sauce, served at room temperature. A Mediterranean classic, it can be served as a main dish or as a meze at lunch or dinner.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the chickpeas

25 min

Drain the soaked chickpeas and cook them in a pressure cooker with plenty of water until tender and easy to mash.

2

Sauté the onion

8 min

Cook the finely chopped onion and carrot in olive oil over low heat until softened.

3

Make the sauce

5 min

Add the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Add the water, sugar, and salt, then bring the sauce to a boil.

4

Combine with the chickpeas and simmer

15 min

Add the cooked chickpeas to the sauce and simmer over low heat until some of the liquid has evaporated. Keep the sauce over low heat so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

5

Rest and serve

10 min

Remove from the heat and let the dish cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Reminder

Soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water; soaking time is not included in the cooking time. Cook the tomato sauce over low heat to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. No major allergens are listed in the ingredients.
