Cooking Dried Chickpeas


- Soak them overnight in water with a pinch of bicarbonate of soda.

- When you are ready to cook, rinse them, then place in a large saucepan with cold water (about 1 litre per 100g chickpeas).

- Bring to the boil, then gently simmer, skimming off any scum as it builds up, for about 90 minutes, or until tender.

- Season at this point (never salt pulses before they are tender as this can prevent them from softening at all).
