Ceci ripassati in padella con curry e rosmarino
Da brava vegana quale sono, ho sempre dei ceci in cucina. Che siano secchi o in scatola, non mancano mai. Ci sono dei periodi in cui li mangio tutti i giorni, devo dire che tra tutti i legumi sono forse i miei preferiti sia per il sapore che per la loro consistenza. In pratica ci […]

Pasta e ceci, ciciari, scesci…la ricetta di mamma Rita
Mentre facevo un po’ di ricerca per capire le origini della pasta e ceci, devo dire che ci ho capito ben poco.
