Question:

Chickpeas

I have recently come across a recipe for chickpea soup. Would love to use the dried chickpeas and not tinned. How to I cook the dries ones and what other dish can be prepared with these?

Answer:

Lannice Snyman says:

Chickpeas are round, pale brown pulses have a strong nutty flavour and are probably best known as the main ingredient for the north African dip, hummus. They are also ground for flour and used in Indian cooking and feature extensively in Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Soak the dried chickpeas overnight in cold water before using in soup.
