1 kilogram (about 2 pounds) dried chickpeas

Several cloves garlic, chopped
Olive oil, for cooking
1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place the chickpeas in a pot and cover with several inches of water. Simmer until tender, about 2 hours.
  • Towards the end of the cooking time for the chickpeas, cook the onions, peppers and garlic in some olive oil in a large saute pan, stirring occasionally. Add the prawns, bay leaf and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the prawns are cooked through.
