Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium-size saucepan over medium heat, simmer the onions and garlic in olive oil until they are soft but not browned. Add the chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, parsley, oregano, cumin and prosciutto, if using, and simmer for 30 minutes more.

  2. Step 2

    Taste the mixture and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper. If it does not seem moist enough, add a little of the reserved chickpea liquid or some olive oil, or both. Serve lukewarm with a green salad and good bread and butter or garlic oil.

It was very good, but the prosciutto muted the other flavors even though I only used a quarter cup. I improvised and added a teaspoon of sherry vinegar to accentuate the brightness of the tomatoes and balance out the fattiness. That elevated the dish.
