7Revithada (Slow-Cooked Chickpea Stew)
Revithada is considered one of Paros’ signature dishes. This hearty chickpea stew is traditionally cooked in a clay pot inside a wood-fired oven overnight. The slow cooking process creates an incredibly creamy texture while allowing the chickpeas to absorb olive oil and herbs.
Locals often prepare revithada for Sunday family meals. The dish is simple but deeply satisfying, typically flavored with lemon, olive oil, and bay leaves. It represents the essence of Cycladic cooking — minimal ingredients but maximum flavor.
