Cooking
Chickpeas quite a long time to cook, but he remains frozen without losing its taste and nutritional qualities. So it makes sense to cook chickpeas "with reserve" and part to freeze. So, place the chickpeas in a container and fill with cold drinking water so that the water level was two times higher than the level of the chickpeas, it can be a little more. Container better to take a rectangular shape and wide enough, because chickpea is very strong increases in volume while soaking and it is quite difficult to shake it from vertical round or trapezoidal container. The container for convenience should be on the cover.
So, close the container with chickpeas cover and put in refrigerator for 8-12 hours. From personal experience I can say, longer is better than less. And don't worry if Your plans change, in the form of soaked chickpeas well stand in the fridge for three days.
So, chickpeas are swollen.
Pour chickpeas into a colander and rinse under running water.
To put the chickpeas in a saucepan and cover with cold water to 3cm above the level of chickpeas. To enable heating. Cover don't cover.
Bring to a boil and remove the foam. Don't be surprised chickpeas gives a rich foam, but bigotry can not be removed.
After boiling, reduce the heat to minimum, in which the chickpeas to boil, and cook the chickpeas and 55 minutes, covering with a lid. 10 minutes before end of cooking salt may be added to the chickpeas. I prefer to salt the chickpeas after cooking.
After 55 minutes turn off the heat. If You are interested to get a good aquatube and tender chickpeas, leave the chickpeas in the broth until cool. If You need the chickpeas for making hummus you can also boil it for another hour, but not necessarily. When cooking chickpeas from him can separate seleski, for making hummus, they are usually removed, but this is not a prerequisite.
The cooled chickpeas, which You are not going to use immediately should be frozen. Makes sense before freezing slightly dry chickpeas, so it is not too stuck together when frozen. In this case, it will be easier to remove from the container the desired quantity of frozen chickpeas, and when You need it.
Tightly close container with lid and put in the freezer.
The rest of the chickpeas to drain in a colander and let the broth drain into the pan.
Pass through a sieve the broth into a container and get about 550 ml of aquababy.
A bit of magic and that's what we can get from aquapay. Meringue without eggs. The site has a few wonderful recipes from great cooks.
Boiled chickpeas spread on plates, sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper, pour lemon juice and olive oil. If you want you can add finely chopped chili pepper. You can sprinkle with fresh herbs. Bon appetit and good for You food!
