Steps

1 hour

1

Soak the chickpeas overnight, then cook them. You can also use canned chickpeas.
2

Cook the three chicken drumsticks. Once cooked, remove and shred the meat. Save the cooking liquid to use later when you mix all the ingredients.
3

Fry the bell peppers and onion, then fry the potatoes in the same oil so they absorb the flavor.
4

Crush the garlic cloves until finely minced. Mix all the ingredients in a pot and cover with the broth from cooking the chicken drumsticks. Taste for salt, and if it's good, simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat. The dish should not be too soupy or too dry. Garnish with a sprig of parsley. You can also add shredded cooked beef along with the chicken drumsticks, but in this version, only chicken drumsticks are used.
