Directions: |
Directions:1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas (if using dried chickpeas soak overnight and then boil the next day in a pressure cooker for 10 mins or boil for 1 hour 10 mins in a pan)
2. Prepare the tomato by blanching it and removing the skin and pips following this cut it into small cubes and place in a bowl
3. Add the red peppers to the tomato (if you canīt find the Spanish pimientos del piquillo you will need to roast the red peppers for about 20 min. and then remove the skin and cut into strips)
4. Cut the cured ham into small squares and add to the bowl. Dress with extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar over and season with salt and pepper
5. Add the chickpeas to the salad mixture

Notes: To save time I used 2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed. This recipe is a feast for the taste buds and for the eyes. If you can find Spanish white wine vinegar it makes all of the difference in the world! Serve this as one of several appetizers at a Tapas party!
