Chickpeas in a clay casserole
Ingredients (for the clay casserole of the photo):
1 pack of chickpeas (usually 500 grams)
1 large dry onion, not too chopped, cut by hand
2-3 carrots moderately sliced
A little celery along with its root not too chopped
Salt, black pepper, a little oregano
1 glass of oil
1 glass of tomato juice
1 tsp. soda
How to prepare:
- A day before cooking the chickpeas do the following:
In a bowl we place the chickpeas with water and soda. Leave them for 2 hours to soak. Then rinse well, put them back in the pan with water and leave until the next day that we will cook them.
- The next day we place the chickpeas in a pot of water and boil in moderate heat for an hour.
- After one hour, we remove them from the fire. With a pierced spoon, remove them from the water and place them in the clay casserole.
- In a saucepan add the oil, let it cook lightly and sauté the onion. Add tomato juice, spices and other ingredients. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes and add the mixture to our chickpeas. Mix thoroughly and add the water that we boiled the chickpeas in.
- The water covers the chickpeas and it will help to boil and thus finish with their cooking.
- We bake them at 190 degrees Celsius for an hour definitely (maybe and a quarter more) and after the first half hour we check. In the last quarter we uncover and leave until cooking is complete.
Bon appetit!!!
