Ciceri E Tria

Ingredients

Directions

Soak the chickpeas overnight.
Drain the chickpeas and add to a large pot with fresh water. Add the vegetables, bay leaves, and salt, then simmer until tender.
Meanwhile, make the pasta, by adding roughly 30% barley flour to the 70% hard durum wheat flour and water until you reach a pasta consistency. Roll out into thin ribbons, several times thicker than egg pasta allows. Dry for a few hours.
Take a third of the pasta and fry in small batches in extra virgin olive oil.
Regulate water, bring the chickpeas to a boil again, and add the raw pasta.
Cook until tender (around 3 minutes). Add fried pasta, the diced parsley and a good glug of raw oil.
Serve in bowls.
