How to Cook Chickpeas in the Instant Pot makes about 3 cups
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked for 8 hours or overnight in water
• 4 cups water
• 1 onion cut in half
• 2 bay leaves
• 3/4 tsp salt
1. Soak the dried chickpeas for 8 hours or overnight. Then drain.
2. Add the soaked and drained chickpeas, 4 cups water, onion, bay leaves, and salt. Pressure cook on high for 7 minutes, then natural release for 20 minutes. Discard the onion and bay leaves, and drain excess water. Store in a glass container with lid.
NOTE: If you plan on using these throughout the week, I advise reserving 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the cooking water to store with the chickpeas, to avoid drying out.
