Notes

  • If you prefer to use natural dried chickpeas rather than canned ones, put them in a large bowl and pour over enough cold water to cover chickpeas and set aside overnight to soak. Then bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and boil them for 30 minutes for a pressure pot (Check your pot instructions for cooking chickpeas).
  • You can use any variety of ripe tomatoes to prepare a good tomato sauce recipe, but the original one uses plum tomatoes.
