Preparation

• Soak the dried chick peas in plenty of water overnight.
• The next day, if you are not using a pressure cooker, you will need to boil the chick peas in a pot and enough water to cover the chick peas to soften them first and drain.
• If you are using canned peas, you can skip the previous steps.
• Just drain and wash the chick peas.
  
• Also, you'll need to cook the meat before you add in canned chick peas to avoid them turning to mush.
• Put chopped onions into a pot with olive oil.
• Add in the stewing beef and stir fry a little.
• Cover and reduce heat and cook until the meat is softAdd in chick peas, tomato paste, pepper paste, salt and pepper.
