El Maragato Premium Garbanzo Beans from Spain ( 2.2 lb/1 kilo)

Our Garbanzos are super-dried to preserve their full flavor. These premium garbanzos (chick-peas) from León grown along the Camino de Santiago are completely different than their bland supermarket cousins. When you soak them overnight they swell into beautiful plump tasty beans. In Spain the popularity of Cocido de Garbanzos rivals that of paella and gazpacho and is the precursor of a French pot-au-feu. These premium beans are the perfect base for a pot of Cocido that will be brimming with authentic Spanish flavor. Each bag comes with an authentic recipe. To prepare traditional Cocido de Garbanzos, you will also need some chorizo and morcilla sausage with onions. You can find all of these ingredients at La Tienda.
