Note
- To cook dried chickpeas (weigh out half of the final weight you will need)
- Soak the chickpeas for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight with ½ tsp. bicarb/bread soda. Drain the chickpeas and place them in a pot with plenty of water and 1 tsp. bicarb/bread soda.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes then check to see if the chickpeas are cooked, they should still have a small bite to them.
- Leave them for longer if they are not cooked. Drain the chickpeas and they are ready for use.
