Organic Chickpeas

Description

Our premium Organic Chickpeas are a versatile and nutritious addition to any kitchen. Grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, these chickpeas are harvested from organically certified farms, ensuring the highest quality and sustainability. Perfect for a variety of culinary applications, they are a staple in many healthy and delicious recipes.

Uses

Organic chickpeas are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of dishes. Here are a few popular ways to incorporate them into your meals:

  • Salads: Add cooked chickpeas to salads for extra protein and texture.
  • Hummus: Blend cooked chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic for a creamy and healthy dip.
  • Stews and Curries: Enhance the flavour and nutrition of stews and curries with these hearty legumes.
  • Snacks: Roast chickpeas with your favourite spices for a crunchy, nutritious snack.
  • Soups: Add them to soups for added thickness and nutritional value.

How to Cook

Cooking organic chickpeas is simple and can be done in a few easy steps:

  1. Soak: Place chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 8-12 hours or overnight. This helps to soften them and reduce cooking time.
  2. Drain and Rinse: Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them thoroughly with fresh water.
  3. Cook: Transfer the chickpeas to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-1.5 hours until tender. For added flavour, you can cook them with a bay leaf, garlic, or onion.
  4. Drain: Once cooked, drain the chickpeas and they are ready to be used in your favourite recipes.

Alternatively, you can use a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time. Simply add the soaked chickpeas to the pressure cooker, cover with water, and cook for 20-25 minutes.
