This is how we cook our dried chickpeas, to use in soups, salads, casseroles and more.
1 cup of dried chickpeas yields about 3 cups of cooked chickpeas.
- The night before, put the chickpeas in a bowl and cover with cold water.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight (for 8 to 12 hours).
- Drain the chickpeas
- Simmer for 1 1/2 or 2 hours in a saucepan, keeping them covered with water.
- When cooked, they will keep in an airitght container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for an extended storage time!
