INGREDIENTS

• 2 glasses of chickpeas (from a tin is OK)
• 1 glass of beans (from a tin is OK)

• 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika. (you can use a little of hot paprika as well)
• 1 tablespoon of dried mint

METHOD:
It is so easy !  To make the Spanish "Olla gitana", all  you have to do is put all the ingredients in a saucepan , cover with water, (enough to cover the chickpeas and beans and a little more), and boil until the vegetables are cooked.  Check the salt and liquid and to serve, add a little lemon juice.

Sometimes, I mix the pumpkin with a clove of grated garlic and salt, it is great spread on  bread.
