Have you ever eaten "Chickpeas"? Well, this might sound a little strange if you don't know what this word means.
I myself didn't know the meaning until very recent. Actually, one of my students asked me for this word while describing her curious gastronomic weekend, when she ate "Puchero" (another new word for me), a Spanish recipe that takes chickpeas as an ingredient.
Chickpea, known as "grão de bico" in Portuguese, is a very typical legume used in different countries and easily found in the Brazilian cuisine. Brazil isn’t the main producer, though. This legume also considered a grain is rich in proteins and is said to be one of the earliest grains to be cultivated in human history.
My family has used this ingredient in many occasions and for different recipes. Although you can find various recipes available on the internet, I selected a list BBC has gathered for your to enjoy this peculiar but rich ingredient. Click here and enjoy.
