Organic Ventotene Chickpeas 500g

ORGANIC CHICKPEAS SOUP, FIVE TOMOLES

Ingredients for 4 people:

Soak the Ventotene chickpeas for at least 12 hours, rinse them and boil them with rosemary and bay leaves.

When they have softened, prepare a sauté with oil, garlic, celery, cherry tomatoes and possibly the chilli.

Cover and cook for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, take a ladle of chickpeas and add it to the sauté.

Blend everything and add it to the rest of the legumes.

Season with salt and finish cooking.

Before serving, a drizzle of good oil is recommended.

To make the soup lighter, you can avoid the sauté by adding the ingredients halfway through cooking.

The biggest ambition? Convert Ventotene (and the world) to permaculture! The fulcrum of the peasant community is in fact a radically alternative vision of society and agriculture, which draws inspiration from the thought of the Japanese agronomist. Masanobu Fukuoka (spread in Europe years ago by the Spanish microbiologist Emilia Hazel).

Permaculture means permanent culture (and agriculture), design of spaces in total harmony between man and nature, in order to satisfy the needs of the population, recreating and preserving natural ecosystems.

So, if this summer you intend to take a holiday a little different from the usual, the island of Ventotene could hold you several surprises, and still others could come out after a chat with Mattia ...
