Cover generously with cold water, but do not season. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, then turn the heat down. Simmer gently for 1 and 1\/2 hours or until the chickpeas are soft. Drain and dress with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li>In the meantime, warm 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a separate pan over a medium heat. Crumble in the chillies and add the garlic and rosemary. Cook for a minute to release the flavours, then add the tomatoes and stir well to break them up, adding a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, then pour in the stock and cook for a further 10 minutes. Finally add the cooked chickpeas and simmer gently for 40 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Near the end of the cooking time, prepare the chard. Wash and pat dry, then strip the leaves from the pale central stalk, using a small sharp knife &#8211; set aside. Trim the stalks and cut into 1cm chunks. Add these to a pan of well-salted boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, then add the soft green outer leaves and cook for a further minute. Now drain.<\/li>\n<li>Break the bread into small pieces and stir into the soup along with the Parmesan, turning the heat to low. Add the chard and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add a little more Parmesan and\/or olive oil if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Serve<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Chickpea &amp; chard soup Serves 4 Ingredients 200g dried chickpeas 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve Juice of 1\/2 lemon 2 dried red chillies 5 garlic cloves (peeled and smashed with the back of a knife) 3 rosemary sprigs 2 x 340g tinned peeled plum tomatoes Sea salt and freshly ground&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[46,54,9,48,44,56,7,63,38,12,13],"class_list":["post-507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meat-free-recipes","tag-diet","tag-dieting","tag-health-eating","tag-healthy","tag-healthy-eating","tag-healthy-meals","tag-meat-free","tag-meat-free-recipes","tag-recipes","tag-vegetarian","tag-vegetarian-eating"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions\/649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
