Discard the soaking water and, in a pan, place the chickpeas with 1 bay leaf and 1 clove of garlic. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to medium heat and cook until done.

Shake the covered pan vigorously, remove the lid and stir quickly and vigorously. This process will cause the skins of the chickpeas to come off. Add cold water, cover the pan again and wait a few minutes for the skins to rise. Remove and discard the skins from the surface with a sieve and drain the water before serving or storing.

Add hot water to cover, close or cover the pan and let it cook until it reaches the right point. When it's ready, season with salt. BROWN RICE Soak the rice in a bowl for approximately 20 minutes. In a pan, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes transparent. Add ginger, 1 bay leaf, garlic and continue sautéing with the onion. Add the rice and, stirring constantly, let it thicken well. Add hot water to cover, season with salt, stir and partially cover the pan until it reaches the right point.
