Perfect Steamed Chickpeas (Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker)
I used to always buy chickpeas in the can. I would try to boil them over the stove and it would literally take hours! And then the texture was still off. That is when my mom told me that I should pressure cook them! It was a time and money saver. And the best part was that steamed chickpeas have a MUCH softer texture than canned ones.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chickpeas
- 2-3 cups filtered water for soaking
- herbs & spices
- filtered water for steaming
Instructions
- Add your chickpeas to a bowl about double the size of the amount of beans you are cooking. Cover them with filtered water. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge over night.
- Drain and rinse the beans. Add them to the instant pot (or pressure cooker) and cover with water so that the water is about 1 inch above the beans.
- Add any seasonings or spices. I like to use the spices that I am using in the dish. For example I would use curry powder if I am making a chickpea curry.
- Cover and use pressure cook setting on high for 23 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release.
- Drain the water and enjoy your soft and delicious chickpeas!
