Hi Catherine! Thanks for the twitter follow:)
I adore ceci. I remember as a child my father use to take us to Katz's in the city. There use to be barrels of chick peas in their raw state. My sister and I use to eat them like nuts!!!
Your dish sounds delectable. Thank you so much for sharing...
PS...Love your vintage jewelry background. My second love after cookbooks:)
Catherine, I absolutely love the look of this (though I'd have to tone it down for my wimpy family) Thanks for sharing this one!

Chickpeas is one of my favorite things. I have fried them with curry powder and curry leaves and mustard seed but have never cooked them with bacon and rice. What a great creation! Thanks for sharing.
