Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a delicious nutty flavoured bean very popular in many Middle-Eastern and Indian dishes including hummus, falafels and curries. Chickpeas are very nutritious, particularly for vegetarians and vegans because of their high protein content. Their high fibre content and low GI levels can help make you feel full for longer. These peas are an amazing addition to your diet, and can be added to any of your favourite dishes.
Soak overnight, drain and cover with cold water and allow them to simmer for 1.5 hours.
