Hello! Fantastic blog! I actually are a day-to-day visitor to your website (somewhat a lot more like take to ) of the site. Just wanted to express I come to know your blogs and am looking forward for more!
Chickpeas. I think it’s worth using dried chickpeas rather than canned, which lose texture – too soft. You don’t have to soak or cook them for very long if you start by bringing them to the boil from cold and leave them soaking in the hot water. I’ve heard that very old dried peas might take longer to cook.
thx alisha
