Steps
- 1Begin by draining the chickpeas and transferring them to a medium-sized pot. Pour enough water into the pot so that it covers the chickpeas by 1 1/2 inches. Introduce the onion, cinnamon stick, chile, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil before lowering the heat to sustain a gentle simmer. Cook until the chickpeas reach tenderness, which should take approximately 45 minutes. Remember to check for seasoning and adjust salt if needed. Once ready, remove from heat and allow the chickpeas to cool in their cooking liquid.
- 2Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F. Then, in a large pot, bring water to a boil and generously season with salt. Proceed by peeling the carrots, halving them, and cutting them into 1-inch diagonal segments. Next, trim the turnips and cut them into halves or quarters. Cook the carrots and turnips separately in batches until they reach a tender consistency, approximately 5 minutes each. After cooking, transfer the vegetables onto a baking sheet to cool down at room temperature.
