Zuppa di Ceci - Italian Recipe

Zuppa di Ceci

🌍 Italian, Tuscany/National Difficulty: ●●●○○

A Tuscan chickpea soup of extreme simplicity. The chickpeas must be soaked overnight and cooked until they yield completely to pressure. Rosemary and garlic infuse the oil poured over each bowl at serving. Do not blend all of it — half puréed, half whole is the correct texture.

Ingredients

• 400g chickpeas, soaked and cooked
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 sprig rosemary
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, black pepper
• Toasted bread to serve

Method

1. Sautéing — Sauté garlic and rosemary in oil.
2. Adding — Add chickpeas with their cooking liquid.
3. Simmering — Simmer 20 min; blend half to thicken.
4. Seasoning — Season; serve over bread with olive oil drizzle.
