description
Since the evening is still breezy here by myself in the countryside, I prepared this dish really tasty and healthy, less suitable in hot weather.
preparation
step 1
In the case of dried chickpeas: Put the dried chickpeas to soak for about 24 hours, in a large bowl with fresh water whereas the volume of legumes tend to double.
step 2
Over the course of 24 hours to change the water at least once.
step 3
At the time of cooking, drain the beans and rinse them under running water. Clean the carrot, celery, garlic and onion halves and make a mince.
step 4
In a large pan, preferably earthenware, add extra virgin olive oil and add the chopped vegetables and brown.
step 5
Add the chickpeas, bay leaf and rosemary and cover with hot water. DO NOT add salt immediately otherwise the skin of the chickpeas will tend to harden.
step 6
Cook over medium heat, with the lid slightly away, for about an hour and a half making sure that the water does not dry up ever. Every now and then add hot water as needed.
step 7
Prepare separately a sauce by frying the other half of the onion and bacon, sliced thinly, in extra virgin olive oil, then add the chopped tomatoes, salt and cook about half an hour.
step 8
When ready to pour the tomato sauce in the pan with the chickpeas, stir well and season with salt. Always let cook for another half hour, taking care that the water does not dry out.
step 9
Now add the pasta to soups must be large format - no stars, rings, etc. butterflies. and cook the required time.
