‘Ceci’ are also known as Garbanzo Beans or Chick Peas.  You can use them fresh or canned.  Garbanzo are one of the vegetables that do can well and you can therefore save yourself a little time by simply resorting to the can opener.  Make sure you rinse the beans well when they come out of the can.

This salad is a little out of the ordinary, a subtle and delicate taste combination.  It’s also quite pretty

1 14 oz. can of Ceci, rinsed.
