Quick Chickpea Pasta Salad and Peas with Ham Recipes

A chickpea‑and‑pasta salad can be prepared in under 30 minutes using a canned chickpea, cooked pasta, fresh vegetables and a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and herbs. The salad is mixed, chilled briefly and served as a light, protein‑rich meal.

A separate peas‑with‑ham dish also takes about 30 minutes. Frozen peas are boiled, then combined with diced serrano ham, sautéed onion, garlic, a touch of flour and the reserved cooking liquid to create a thickened sauce. The dish is known from chef Karlos Arguiñano’s recipe collection.
