Chick Peas AliBaba 500g

Description

AliBaba Chickpeas are a classic, versatile staple in plant-based cuisine and beyond: large, uniform grains with a delicately nutty flavor and a creamy, yet firm texture when cooked. They work well in dozens of dishes—from hummus and falafel, to Indian chole masala, Moroccan tagines, "protein" salads, curries, creamy soups, and even roasted chickpeas for a crunchy snack. They pair beautifully with cumin, coriander, garlic, paprika, lemon, and tahini, absorbing the flavors of spices and sauces, and when blended, they create silky pastes. Naturally rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and minerals (including iron and magnesium), they help keep you feeling full for longer and support a balanced vegetarian and flexitarian diet. Preparation: Rinse and soak for 8–12 hours (replace the water), then cook until tender, 45–60 minutes; in a pressure cooker, cook for about 20–25 minutes after reaching pressure. Add salt towards the end – the grains will remain pliable. Use the cooking water (aquafaba) for vegan meringue, mayonnaise, or as a natural thickener for soups and sauces. Cook for a shorter time in salads to retain their "chickenness." Tip: Bake the cooked chickpeas for 25–35 minutes at 190°C with a little olive oil and your favorite spices – you'll have a healthy on-the-go snack. For quick meals, cook a larger batch and freeze in portions. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; after opening, protect from moisture.
