Atlantis & the pulses (beans and chickpeas)

Almost casually, when I took the first pictures of this dish-in-progress, I realized the scenario might have evoked something related to an island, because of the colours themselves, of the presence of the water, and the disposal of the ingredients. You will judge by your wonderful selves. All the rest is told in the Plato's Thimeus.

The final result of this preparation was a sort of legumes-pure into which I cooked some rice and then i dressed it with some extra-virgin olive oil.

Let your pulses mixture soak for 8 hours

Nevertheless, the main novelty I decided to introduce ware some dried porcini mushrooms...not too many though, otherwise their powerful flavouring is certainly overcoming the other tastes.

Atlantis in its splendour 

with palm trees, potato sea-rocks,

the onion hill, carrot beaches,

and innocent hammer porcini sharks 

The island sank, add some thyme, a pinch of salt, 

a leaf of siege

After 1 h 10 mins of cooking, adjust salt and pepper

Save some pulses and mushrooms 

from the pure operation,

add some water and cook the rice inside the pure,

stir often because it tends to stick

Dress with olive oil and enjoy 3 minutes after serving
