Hummus and using dry chickpeas

I made this hummus yesterday…YUM

I wanted to share because it was delicious 😋 but also because chickpeas are so cheap (the whole huge bag was 9 dollars and lasted many, many, many months!!) BUT using dry chickpeas used to be so foreign to me so I wanted to share 😬

I did share a daal yesterday, and to cook the split lentils you needed 2 lentils:1 water ratio and less that 10 minutes to cook. 🤔

Well chickpeas are like the opposite 🙃. You soak them in LOTS of water 🌊 (doesn't matter how much) overnight/8 hours, then boil them in LOTS of water 🌊 (again doesn't matter how much) for 45 minutes and drain them.

In the end, 1️⃣ cup of dry chickpeas will be 3️⃣ cups of cooked 👍

Hope the pictures above help to remember and encourage you to try using dried chickpeas. Maybe with the money you save, you can buy some nice naan bread to go with it!

Thank you for taking the time to read. I hope you have full bellies and a wonderful day. You are the best! 🫵#️⃣1️⃣🙏😁
