How to enjoy

Chickpeas can be used to make a wide variety of dishes. Add chickpeas to soups, curries, casseroles, salads and grain bowls. They are such a great ingredient for dips, including internationally renowned hummus dip and all its variations. Chickpeas can be blended into vegetarian patties or roasted (after they’ve been rehydrated) for a crunchy snack or vegetarian filling. There are many methods to prepare dried beans, including a long soak stovetop, quick soak, pressure cooker or slow cooker. The simplest way, also the longest, is the stovetop long soak method. To prepare, soak the chickpeas in water overnight. Drain, add to a pot with plenty of water, allow to come to a boil, then reduce and allow to simmer until they reach your desired tenderness, 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours. You can make a big batch and freeze them in smaller quantities for quick use next time.
