EN ESPAÑOL












Me encantan los garbanzos (en realidad todas las legumbres) pero desde pequeña mi mamá nos hacía "puchero español" que lleva garbanzos y otras cosas ricas. Y siempre me han gustado. Lo novedoso para mí fue comer juntos los garbanzos con el cous cous y los camarones o gambas, fue delicioso! Espero que disfruten esta receta los que les gustan las legumbres!



Ingredientes

300 grs. de camarones o gambas
2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
1 diente de ajo
1 pizca de ají verde u otro
1 cucharadita de perejil
1 taza de garbanzos
1 taza de cous cous
1/2 puerro picado fino
1 taza de vino blanco
1/2 cucharadita de cúrcuma
sal a gusto

Preparación

Limpiar los camarones (si vienen con cáscara) y dejarlos marinar en el aceite de oliva junto con el perejil picado,el diente de ajo, el ají picado, dejar por un rato.

En una olla cocinar los garbanzos (remojados desde la noche anterior) en agua con sal.

En otra olla cocinar el cous cous al dente y luego enfriarlo en un colador.

En un sartén saltear los camarones con el mismo aceite que se marinaron, agregar el puerro y los garbanzos.Añadir el vino blanco, el cous cous y la cúrcuma.
Mezclar todo y agregar la sala gusto.

Servir agregando más camarones o gambas.
