{"product_id":"revithada-300g","title":"Revithada — The Sifnos Chickpea Stew, Ready in 2 Minutes (300g)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe chickpea stew that used to spend the night in the baker's oven, ready in two minutes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevithada belongs to Sifnos. On Saturday evening, the chickpeas went into a clay pot with onion, olive oil, lemon, and bay, and the pot was carried to the village baker, who slid it into the wood oven as the last bread came out. It cooked overnight in the falling heat and was collected on Sunday, after church. 3 Alfa cooks it in Athens with thick chickpeas grown by the \u003cstrong\u003eGroup of Greek Producers\u003c\/strong\u003e, its own network of contracted Greek growers, and finishes it with \u003cstrong\u003eextra virgin olive oil at 4.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e, celeriac, lemon, bay, and a little turmeric. It is steam-cooked and sealed in a protective atmosphere, which is why the pouch carries \u003cstrong\u003eno preservatives\u003c\/strong\u003e and still keeps for months in a cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not hummus, and it is not a thick stew. The chickpeas stay whole and give way softly, and they sit in a light, golden broth rather than a sauce. The lemon arrives at the end, sharp against the olive oil, with bay and black pepper behind it and turmeric giving the broth its colour. Greeks eat it with bread and a final thread of oil, and they usually add more lemon at the table, because \u003cem\u003ethe broth is the point\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChickpeas are the quiet workhorse of the Greek kitchen, and the label explains why. A single pouch carries around \u003cstrong\u003e15g of plant protein\u003c\/strong\u003e and around \u003cstrong\u003e11g of fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the fat in it comes from olive oil rather than a refined seed oil. Salt sits at 0.62g per 100g, which is low for a ready dish. It is the meal that holds a weeknight together without asking anything of you except two minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady in 2 minutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e open the pouch by about 3cm and heat it at 900W for two minutes, or empty it into a small pan with a tablespoon of water and warm it gently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a full plate, with bread for the broth and a thread of olive oil poured over at the end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eextra lemon at the table\u003c\/strong\u003e, the way it is served on Sifnos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoosened with a little hot water, for a soupier revithada.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a base to build on: fold in spinach, wild greens, or a spoon of chopped parsley.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3 Alfa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54635687608643,"sku":"3ALFREV300","price":14.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7683\/4722\/files\/Chickpeas-3Alfa-ready-image-A.png?v=1784036691","url":"https:\/\/www.greekflavours.com\/en-us\/products\/revithada-300g","provider":"Greek Flavours","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
