Does anyone prepare chickling? I'd like a recipe.

I have a bag of dried chickling (Italian "cicerchia") that I would like to use, but am not sure how. I know that Italians often use these legumes in soups or stews (or they used to). It's kind of an old-fashioned food, but I found some and would like to try making my own. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
