I love legumes. They are an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. I like all kinds of legumes, and I alternate them during the week: lentils, chickpeas, beans are never missing in my diet. They are also an almost essential food for vegan and vegetarian diets because of their high protein content.
Here I put the recipe for chickpeas as I usually do. To cook them I use a pressure cooker. You can also do it in a normal pot, but you will need more time for cooking.
I soak the chickpeas with water and a little salt the night before.
