Preparation & Cooking

Soak the dried chickpeas in plenty of cold water for at least 12 hours. Add a pinch of baking soda to soften the skins later. The water should cover the chickpeas by at least 5 cm.

The next day, drain the soaking water and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Place them in a pot, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Cook the chickpeas covered over low heat for at least 2 hours (up to 8 hours is ideal) until soft.

Remove the pot from the heat, season the cooking water with a little salt, and let the chickpeas cool in it until the next day (or until completely cooled). This ensures a particularly creamy texture.
