Roasted chickpeas

Ingredients

Butter - 3.5 oz
Onion - 1 piece
Activated Baking Soda - ¼ spoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the peas in a spacious bowl, cover them with warm water, and add a pinch of baking soda and salt. Let them soak for at least 12 hours.

Step 2

Drain the water and rinse the peas. Bring salted water in a pot to just below boiling point, add the peas, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 2-3 hours until the peas are soft: the cooking time depends on the age of the peas and the softness of the water.

Step 3

During this time, finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Peel the sausage, which should be about the size of a finger, and slice it thinly.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a skillet, add the onion, and cook over low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes, crushing them with a spatula. Stir in the paprika and chorizo, then remove the skillet from the heat.
