Description:

To achieve the best flavor and texture, soak the chickpeas overnight to ensure they cook evenly. Skim off any foam that forms while boiling the meat to keep the broth clear. Add vegetables in stages to prevent overcooking; root vegetables like potatoes and carrots should go in earlier, while cabbage should be added later. If using morcilla, add it near the end of cooking to prevent it from breaking apart. Adjust seasoning carefully, as chorizo and morcilla already contain spices and salt. Finally, allow the broth to simmer slowly for maximum depth of flavor.

Description of diets:

This dish is high in protein and nutrient-dense, making it suitable for high-protein diets. However, due to its chickpeas, potatoes, and vermicelli, it is not keto-friendly or paleo. It is also not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets due to the presence of multiple animal products. Those on a gluten-free diet should omit vermicelli or replace it with a gluten-free alternative. For low-calorie diets, portion control is essential, as this dish is relatively calorie-dense. It can fit into the Mediterranean diet with slight modifications, such as reducing processed meats like chorizo and morcilla.

Darya (March 8, 2025, 6:23 p.m.) : Can i use canned chickpeas instead of dried ones to save time?

Admin (March 8, 2025, 6:31 p.m.) : __________for darya: If you don't have enough time, you can use them. But I don't always prefer to use canned and packaged foods. In terms of harmful ingredients and preservatives that some may contain.
