How to Cook With Chickpeas

How to Cook With Chickpeas

Knowing how to cook with chickpeas allows you to whip up tasty, quick recipes in no time. These legumes are not only packed with protein and fibre but are also incredibly versatile.

To start, canned chickpeas offer convenience and a shortcut to various recipes. Simply rinse them thoroughly to reduce sodium content before incorporating them into salads, wraps, or grain bowls. For those with a bit more time, soaking and cooking dried chickpeas allows for a firmer texture and a deeper, nuttier flavour.

Most chickpea recipes need little preparation and all you need to do is stir them curries and stews or pop them into bowls or sandwiches. You can even roast chickpeas with your favourite spices for a crunchy and nutritious snack.
