Cece Piccino is a variety of chickpea from Tuscany, among the many Italian organic legumes. It is characterized by a very thin skin which however maintains an excellent consistency when cooked, and a strong flavour. A 24 hour soak is recommended. After soaking, rinse and pour in cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours on a low heat (40 minutes with a pressure cooker). They can be cooked whole or pureed in soups, or dry combined with vegetables and cereals. Excellent paired with fish. Podere Pereto cultivates its lands in the province of Siena with organic and natural methods.
