thanks for this recipe! much easier than i imagined. do you buy canned chick peas, or get dry ones and cook them?
ReplyDeleteI cook them...super easy. Soak chick peas in enough water to cover them in the fridge overnight (at least 6-8 hours). Then at least two hours before you need them, put them into a sauce pan, cover with water, bring to a boil. Then turn the heat off and let them sit, covered for two hours. I usually cook more than I need at once and freeze the extra.
ReplyDeletethanks! do you pretty much cook all dried beans that way?
ReplyDeleteyep. some take more or less time.
ReplyDeleteI attest, this recipe is delicious!
