About

Soft, creamy chickpeas are treasured by cooks, and their presence enriches many dishes, from fish and chicken to beef and lamb. They also form the basis for hummus. An important element in the preparation of chickpeas is the time needed for soaking and cooking them, but if you are short on time, use canned chickpeas.
