A simple and efficient recipe for cooking chickpeas in an Instant Pot without the need for overnight soaking.
Dried Chickpeas, uncooked
0 oz
quarts
teaspoons
1. Combine Ingredients in Instant Pot
Place the dried chickpeas, water, and salt into the Instant Pot.
2. Cook the Chickpeas
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook on high for 55 minutes.
3. Keep Warm
After the cooking cycle finishes, switch on the 'Keep Warm' setting if not using the chickpeas immediately.
Soaking chickpeas overnight can lead to more evenly cooked chickpeas with a creamier texture and reduced cooking time.
Adding aromatics like onions, garlic, bay leaves, or cinnamon to the cooking water infuses chickpeas with rich flavors.
Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15-20 minutes after cooking to prevent chickpeas from becoming too mushy.
Use the leftover liquid, or aquafaba, as a vegan egg replacer in baked goods or to add creaminess to soups.
Add about 1 teaspoon of salt after the chickpeas have reached a simmer in the Instant Pot for well-seasoned legumes without tough skins.
