step 1
Leave the chickpeas to soak for 8-12 hours. We recommend putting them in warm water the night before.

Sauté with carrot, onion, celery and well-crushed and chopped mushrooms. Add the chard cut into strips. Let it cook for 10 min. Then blend with white wine.
step 4
Add the sauce and the chickpeas drained.
step 5
Cover with 1 liter and a half of vegetable stock and cook for at least half an hour.
