Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups dried chickpeas, soaked in water overnight and drained
4 fresh rosemary branches, plus 4 teaspoons, chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 medium-size head roasted garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons, plus 2 teaspoons, olive oil
3/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup pitted and chopped green olives
1/4 cup pitted and chopped imported black olives
3 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the chickpeas in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the rosemary branches and bring to a boil over high heat.
