]]> Although canned beans, especially chickpeas, seem like a really cheap solution to get a lot of nutrition while maintaining taste, chickpeas are one of the easiest beans to cook from dried beans. Buying dried beans will actually save you even more money because they double or even triple in size after they’ve been cooked. If you haven’t cooked dried beans before don’t be intimidated, it’s easier than you think.

Instructions

  1. Start by soaking the chickpeas in a big bowl of water overnight. If you can, try to change the water a few times during the soak. This will help them get bigger since you’re discarding the water with all the chemicals they are releasing.
  2. After 12-24 hours, drain and rinse them, put them in a pot, and fill the pot with water so it covers them by a few inches.
  3. Bring the water to a boil and then down to a simmer for about 45-60 minutes until they’re soft, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn.
  4. At this point, you can either save them for later or season them in the pot with whatever you like.
  5. You can either put them in the fridge for a week, or freeze them for several months!

#snacktime😋 after I allowed the #driedchickpeas soak overnight they came to #Lyfe and now they are ready for #snacking You can use #cannedbeans but all I had was dry. #chefanissa #urbynkitchen #urbynkitchenfixins #focusonthefood #didisayitwasgood #isaiditwasgood #foodinfluencer #chefanissa #homemade #chefssnacktoo #chefsnacking #foodgram #healthysnacks #snackaholic #flavoronflavor. 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 4 teaspoons of each , chili powder, curry powder, garam masala, cumin, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme. Instructions Heat the oven to 400°F. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Dry the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil and salt. Roast the chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes. Toss the chickpeas with the spices. Enjoy hot!! The crisp is real. The more the peas cool down they become chewy (which is addictive) but it gains an intense nutty flavor

]]> The term quick soaking is in reference to cooking beans when they are in their dried state. Quick soaking is a process of soaking them that doesn’t take as much time, since normally you have to soak beans at least overnight before you cook them. This process is fabulous if you want to eat beans but don’t have time to wait, so here’s how it’s done.

To quick soak beans, first fill a heavy bottomed pot with as many beans as you like. Just remember that the more beans you add, the longer they will take to cook. Then, fill the pot with water so that it covers about 3 inches above the beans. Bring the pot to a boil with the lid on and then turn off the burner. Leave the lid on to sit for about 1 hour, 2 hours if you’re using black beans.

To cook the beans, you can take the lid off once they’ve soaked, drain and rinse the beans and fill the pot up with the same amount of new water. Add in any aromatics like bay leaves, orange peels, garlic, onions, or whatever flavors you like. Bring the water to a boil and then down to a simmer and cook for 1-2 hours or until the beans are soft, and enjoy!
