Chick Pea Soup
4 cups dried chick peas (garbanzos) or 4-15 oz cans,
drained
Water or chicken stock (about 4 cups)
2 Tbsp. baking soda |
2-3 onions, chopped
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
lemon slices |
Soak the beans overnight in warm water. Strain and dust
with baking soda. Let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse with hot water and rub
a few at a time between your fingers to remove the skins (discard the skins).
Place in strainer and rinse thoroughly for several minutes. Put into a
large pot along with enough water or chicken stock to cover and bring to
a boil, skimming off the foam as it rises. Add the onions, oil, salt and
pepper and simmer covered until the beans split; about 90 min. to 2 hours.
Serve hot with lemon slices.
Serves 6 to 8.
