2 Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes from the moment the steam starts to come out.

3 Put the wine in a pan. When hot add the cockles. Cover them and wait 2-3 minutes until they open. Remove the shells and reserve the meat on a plate.

4 Chop the onion, green pepper and garlic finely. Put them to brown in a pan with a little oil and season it. Add the cockles and sauté briefly.

5 Add the sautéed chickpeas, mix well and serve in a vegetable container.
