Cooking chickpeas in an Instant Pot is very easy and convenient. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of dried chickpeas
- 4 cups of water
- Salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Rinse the chickpeas under running water and drain them.
- Add the chickpeas to the Instant Pot along with 4 cups of water.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is set to the "sealing" position.
- Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 45-50 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for about 10 minutes. After that, you can release any remaining pressure by turning the valve to the "venting" position.
- Open the Instant Pot lid and check if the chickpeas are cooked to your liking. If they are not tender enough, you can cook them for another 5-10 minutes.
- Drain the chickpeas and season with salt (if desired).
Your chickpeas are now ready to be used in your favorite recipes! You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze them for later use.
