Greek Chickpea and Pulse Recipes

Revithia, fasolia, fakes and fava. Pulses carried Greek households through every fasting period and every lean year, and the cooking shows it.

Greek cooking uses a narrow pantry very well. A handful of ingredients appear again and again, in different combinations and cooked in different ways, and knowing what each one does is more useful than memorising individual recipes.

Dishes built on it include Gigantes plaki, Fasolada, Fava Santorinis, Fakes, Pitaroudia and Louvi.

Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
