I used homemade minced meat (beef + pork), but you can use any, to taste.

I used canned chickpeas, which significantly reduced the cooking time. If you're using dried chickpeas, soak them and cook them according to package directions.

The quantity of ingredients is given for a four-liter saucepan.

  • 200 g bacon (I used dry-cured)
  • 200 g chickpeas (cooked)

Bon appetit!
