Easy Quinoa And Chickpea Salad

Chickpeas are also known as gram, Bengal gram, garbanzo, garbanzo bean, and Egyptian pea. There is no middle ground; you either love it or despise it. When prepared properly, it may be magnificent. When cooked incorrectly, it can cause flatulence, bloating, and stomach pain.

Tips for cooking great chickpeas:

  1. Soak em in water: 1 cup chickpeas to 1.5 L of water with 1 tsp of bicarb soda soaking up to 18 + hours changing the water at least twice.
  2. After soaking, thoroughly rinse.
  3. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, a little pepper, and a bay leaf to a pot with 3-4 L of water.
  4. Cook for at least 2-3 hours over high heat with the lid half on.
  5. After cooking time, remove from heat, season with salt, and leave to cool fully in the cooking water.
  6. When completely cooled store in the fridge in that same cooking water.
  7. When ready to use drain and make it into my salad
