Do you like chickpeas? Today we are going to cook them with vegetables although these are not going to be seen. We are going to use mushrooms, carrots and leek and, once cooked, we will crush them. In this way we will obtain a broth with an exceptional texture and also with a lot of flavor.
I have cooked the chickpeas in the cocotte that you see in the photos but you can cook them in a simple saucepan or in your own pressure cooker, if you want to have them ready in a few minutes. Of course, do not forget to soak the legume the night before. I leave you here a link where you will find all the secrets for a good cooking legumes.

Ingredients
- 500 g of chickpeas
- Small potatoes 3
- 3 mushrooms
- The white part of a leek
- Carrots 2
- 1 hoja de laurel
- Water
- 20 g of extra virgin olive oil
- Peppers
- Sal Island
Preparation
The night before we put the chickpeas to soak.
We start the recipe by peeling the carrots and potatoes and cleaning the leek and mushrooms.
We put our vegetables in the saucepan and cover it with water. We also put the bay leaf in our saucepan.
We put everything on the fire and, when it is hot, we strain the chickpeas and we also put them in the saucepan.
Let it cook for a few hours (two or three will be enough, depending on the chickpea used). During that time we will control the cooking and add water if we consider it necessary.
When the chickpeas are well cooked, we remove the vegetables and put them in a food processor to shred them. Be careful, the bay leaf is not crushed.
We crush the vegetables and put them back in the saucepan. We continue cooking.
Next we put the olive oil in a small saucepan. When it is hot add the paprika, a saucepan of the chickpea broth that we will take from the saucepan and a little salt. We leave it on the fire for one or two minutes and add it to our saucepan.
We cook everything for a few more minutes and we have our chickpea stew ready to take to the table.
