We really want to hear from others, what are some interesting ways to cook with chickpeas? If you have a favorite dish, let us know!
I just received your cookbook on my back door porch. It’s very beautiful. I’ve been reading it and can’t wait to try the recipes. Thank you so much for writing it!
Thank you for another fabulous recipe. I have made so many of your recipes, this is definitely my favorite YouTube channel!🤗🥰
Totally unexpected! Will have to try these recipes, especially the dessert!
I think I read that chickpeas were present in the old world, slong with lentils and broad beans, that the phaseolus beans of the New World came along later. And that's why chickpeas are so ubiquious there.
trying to find the recipe for Eva's favorite pasta. where is it please?
Your cookbook is on the way to my country not far from Italy I only started to really appreciate Italian cuisine a couple of years ago. All my pasta dishes I made were nothing like any I tasted in Italy – with this book I hope to get some dolce vita taste into my dining room.
I was once invited to a dessert in Siena called "Semifreddo alla fiamma" and it was delicious but I have forgotten what it consisted of.
When I was in my 20's, I had a room mate who made a very simple, fast, easy, cheap dish, which was my introduction to chickpeas. I am still making it 30 years later, and it's one of my daughter's favorite comfort foods. Butter and olive oil in a cast iron skillet, throw in a can of rinsed chickpeas, salt and pepper. Sautee them for a few minutes, then add a can of any seasoned diced tomatoes that you like, cook for a few more minutes, add cooked brown rice (great to use leftover rice), cook till everything is hot and integrated. More salt and pepper, shredded or grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes. It's cupboard cooking at it's finest. Now I do so many other things with chickpeas, including chickpea salad, blondies, "Marry Me Chickpeas" from Liveeatlearn.com, and more. But that one dish started my love affair with chickpeas, and I am so happy that the possibilities are endless.
Stranghiare non sarebbe risottare la pasta nel sugo?
Eva you make my mouth water and my heart sing, when I see you cook REAL Italian food.
Can you bake the caggioneti abruzzesi, instead of frying?
Grazie Eva <3 Io non so cucinare, e nessuno in famiglia mia mi ha insegnato… Non ho conosciuto le mie nonne, e i miei genitori cucinano le cose più basiche possibile. Quindi non ho una grande cultura culinaria, ma grazie a te sto imparando! E poi ho sempre amato i ceci.
Harper is never going to live down the time he broke the pasta machine! Lol
I've been watching your videos for a while and always found these types interesting. I was curious if you two could make a video like this on olives. Thanks, Ciao!
I don't like chickpeas, so I had saucege and spagetti for lunch, I could hear my favorite Scecilian scolding me for overcooking the pasta and not salting the pastawater enough. 😂😂😂
I love chickpeas. Good recipes.
Mediterranean chickpea salad ❤
I’m definitely making this.
It's great to see the humble chickpea getting such promotion! Here in Europe, the price has recently soared, unfortunately, and availability is affected too. The 2024 crop in Ukraine, which is a big local source, has been hit hard by Putin's brutal "scorched earth" attack on that country.
Indian curries.
Ceci roti from Basilicata but we made them in a square ravioli
I read the gladiators ate mostly barley.
How about canned chickpeas?
Leave the garlic 4 me!…
