21 MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA RECIPES THAT ARE NOT HUMMUS: HOW TO COOK CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas. You can either soak them overnight or try the quick soaking method. To soak overnight, put the chickpeas in a large bowl and add plenty of water to cover the chickpeas by a good 3 inches. Set aside for 24 hours. For the quick soak method, put the chickpeas in a pot and add 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minute. Turn the heat off, cover and let the chickpeas soak for 1 hour. Drain.
• Stovetop Method. In a large cooking pot, put the chickpeas and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing constantly for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 7 cups of water to cover the beans by several inches. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt (about 1 teaspoon or more if you like). Add the bay leaf and garlic. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer, skimming off any foam or skins that float to the top. Chickpeas will cook anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 ½ hour or until tender (cooking time will vary depending on the type and freshness of the chickpeas).

VEGAN CHICKPEA RECIPES

Steps:

• Choose your favorite flavor combination above. Follow the steps below, using the correct spices and liquids for your flavor combo.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F or 200C°.
• In a fine-mesh strainer, drain and rinse a 15 oz can of chickpeas. Place the chickpeas on a clean, dry kitchen towel to pat off the excess moisture.
• Spread the chickpeas on a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the chickpeas into a mixing bowl. Add the spices and liquids for your chosen flavor combination.
• Return the chickpeas to the oven. Roast for an additional 20 minutes, taking them out at 10 minutes to turn and move the chickpeas around on the pan (this will keep them from sticking and promote more even baking).
• Test the chickpeas after another 10 minutes. If they still soft on the inside, return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
• If the chickpeas are starting to burn, but they still aren't totally crispy, turn off the oven, open the oven a few inches at the top, and let the chickpeas rest for 10 to 15 minutes. They will continue to dry out in the hot oven.
• When the chickpeas are crunchy on both the outside and inside they are done. Enjoy right away or store at room temperature, (covered but not airtight) for up to 5 days.
