Stir-fries are a way to combine foods to give a touch of color to your table and surprise your diners. This recipe is very simple, but you must keep in mind that you will need to prepare the chickpeas a day in advance, since they must be soaked 8 hours beforehand. This way, by using them raw and preparing them yourself, you will notice a better flavor and more consistency than those that come in cans. Once the chickpeas are ready, you will have to boil them anyway, but after that moment the preparation of the duck will be very quick. Combining chickpeas with other sautéed cereals helps it to be infused with other aromas and flavors. In addition, it is a legume with many nutritional properties, especially water-soluble ones and minerals. This recipe can be served as a first course before something a little heavier or can work as a single summer dish. It is an ideal recipe to take our tuper to the beach and spend all Sunday in the sand taking baths to cool off. Ingredients (4-6 servings approx.)
