| Chickpeas | 1.5 Cup |
| Ground Beef (Medium Fat) | 250 Grams |
| Dry Onion | 2 Qty |
| Olive Oil | 2 Tbsp |
| Butter | 3 Tbsp |
| Pepper Paste | 1 Tbsp |

Steps:
-
Drain the chickpeas that you soaked the night before. Heat the butter and olive oil in a pressure cooker or cast iron saucepan, and first fry the finely chopped onion and a crushed clove of garlic.
-
Cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds and finely chop. Add the fried onions and continue frying.
-
Add the minced meat to the roasted mortar and fry until it turns brown and the minced meat absorbs its juice, add the tomato paste and after a few minutes add the drained chickpeas to the pot and continue sautéing.
-
After adding salt, pepper and other spices, add enough hot water to cover it by four fingers.
-
Close the pressure cooker or cooker and cook on low heat for 15 minutes in pressure cooker and 45 minutes in pot.
-
Let your cooked food rest for at least 10-15 minutes with the lid closed and serve warm or hot. Plain rice pilaf suits the chickpea dish with minced meat, and we recommend you to try it with bulgur pilaf with vegetables. Enjoy your meal!

Note: You can cook this dish in a controlled time with pre-boiled chickpeas.
