Instructions

1
pesar

Weigh 500g of chickpeas and rinse them well.

5min

Dica: Using a scale is recommended for ingredient precision.

2
demolho

Place the chickpeas in a bowl, cover with water (about three fingers deep above the beans), and soak for 12 hours.

720min

Dica: It is important to cover with plenty of water because the chickpeas will swell.

3
cozinhar

After soaking, drain the water and place the chickpeas in a pressure cooker, adding fresh water to cover well, about three fingers deep above.

3min

Dica: Do not add seasonings at this stage.

4
cozinhar

Pressure cook for 20 to 25 minutes. If the chickpeas were not soaked, cook for about 40 minutes under pressure.

25min

Dica: The ideal texture is 'al dente,' where a fork easily pierces the bean, but it doesn't fall apart.

5
esfriar

Drain the cooking water and let the chickpeas cool completely.

15min
6
misturar

In a bowl, combine the cooked and cooled chickpeas with the shredded carrot, diced onion, chopped hearts of palm, and olives.

3min

Dica: There is no need to remove the skin from the chickpeas.

7
temperar

Season the mixture with black pepper, salt (be careful, as the olives and hearts of palm already contain salt), olive oil, and add vinegar (approximately 50ml or 5 tablespoons). Mix well.

2min

Dica: Use less olive oil to keep the salad healthier.

8
misturar

Add the biquinho peppers and the quail eggs to the salad, mixing gently so as not to break the eggs.

1min 30s

Dica: Add the eggs last to preserve their integrity.

9
finalizar

Transfer the salad to a nice serving dish, garnish with a few whole quail eggs and parsley, if desired.

1min

Dica: It is best to prepare the salad a day in advance so the flavors can fully meld.
