Organic Tuscan Chickpea Appetizer (Cece Piccino) by Radici of Tuscany

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzos, are believed to be over 7,500 years old with origins near Burdur in Turkey where the fertile crescent optimized growth. There has been evidence that chickpeas existed in pre-pottery Neolithic and in early Bronze age deposits near Jericho.
