Serves 2- 3 people:

Ingredients:

- 1 can boiled chickpeas (500 gr.)

- 200 gr surimi elvers

- 1 ripe tomato

- 1 cucumber

- 1 spring onion

- 1 garlic clove, peeled

- Dressing: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic Modena vinegar, salt

Directions:

For the salad: drain any excess liquid from the chickpeas jar. If necessary, soak them in water and drain to remove any saltiness. Place chickpeas in a salad bowl and add 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil, dress and set apart.

Chop tomato, cucumber and spring onion into very thin and small cubes. Add to the chickpeas and put some salt to taste.

Heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and sauté garlic clove to infuse the oil with its fragrance and then remove. Add surimi elvers and when cooked, set aside and allow them to cool.

Mix elvers with chickpeas and the vegetables. Pour a bit of balsamic vinegar (again, to taste) and that’s it!

Bon appetite!!
