Dried Chickpeas by El Maragato are Spanish garbanzo beans sold dry in a 2.2 lb (1 kg) pack, ready to soak and simmer for stews, soups and salads.
Chickpeas are a staple of the Mediterranean diet, and Spanish cooking has a long list of dishes built on them. The best known abroad is cocido madrileño, a hearty chickpea and meat stew. Dried garbanzos need an overnight soak before cooking, so plan ahead and let them simmer slowly.
Serving Ideas
- Cook a classic cocido madrileño with Spanish chorizo, morcilla and vegetables.
- Simmer with onion, garlic and pimentón for a Spanish chickpea stew.
- Toss cooked chickpeas into salads or blend them into hummus.
