Ingredients

  • 800 g Barba Stathis ‘’Let’s Cook’’ Chickpeas
  • 4 Onions (finely chopped)
  • 200 ml Olive Oil
  • 8 Country-Style Sausages (cut into strips)
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • 1-litre Vegetable Stock
  • Juice of 2 Lemons
  • ½ tbsp Cornstarch
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, add the chickpeas, onions, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  3. Pour in the vegetable stock until it covers the chickpeas.
  4. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium heat for about 55 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. When the chickpeas are tender, turn off the heat and stir in the lemon and cornstarch mixture.
  6. Cover the pot again to let the flavours meld.
  7. In a frying pan, heat a bit of olive oil over high heat. Add the sausages and sauté until golden brown.
  8. Towards the end, sprinkle in the paprika, stir, and remove from heat.
  9. Transfer the chickpea stew to a serving dish and top with the sautéed sausages. Serve warm.

Tip: If the stew becomes too thick, simply add a little cold water and stir well to achieve the desired consistency.
