This chickpeas and sausage recipe isn’t really Polish. It is however very easy to make and it tastes yummy. One of the really nice things that you will find is that the flavor comes from sausage but there is a nice mild flavor that is added in from the leek.

Chickpeas are easily available throughout the year. You’ll find them in shops both as dried chickpeas or chickpeas that already cooked and stored in cans. For this recipe you can use both types of chickpeas but you should know that if you choose to use dried chickpeas, you will need just 1 cup of chickpeas.

Preparation of the dried chickpeas starts off by soaking them and then boiling them. This will add some time to the recipe which is otherwise a very quick one.
