>>21668344I never had much success dehydrating them as well as the storebought dry ones I suspect they are using pressure fryers. I love the crunchy okras done that way. My favorite garbanzo recipes are chana masala indian style, and cuban/spanish variations of Caldo Garbanzo, which will have anything from a ham hock to sliced browned chorizo. If you use the dried chorizo, it'll be a total pantry meal to enjoy from a crock pot. All bean soups benefit from a fresh herb and a balance of acid at the end, from sherry vinegar splash to fresh lime or lemon.
>1lb. chickpeas, sorted for stones, foreign matter, damaged beans; rinsed>8 cups cold water>crockpot, 8 hours on highThat will give you a basic, cooked chickpeas with with you can then do whatever.If you want to eat them out of the crockpot, then add to the crockpot:>1 teaspoon salt>half a yellow onion, cut through the "equator," not the stem>1/2 teaspoon chili powder>1 teaspoon cumin>pepper to taste
>>21668344Do look into making pani puri or papri chaat. So fucking good, and sorta fairly simple to make. Not very salad looking, but technically a salad of sorts in construction.
>>21669233>pani puriseems like way more effort than its worth. Street food is street food for a reason

Oven to 400. Basically everything but the fish into the skillet to make your sauce. If you're on a cooking site you should know the proper order. Once its all saucy and soft, nest the fish in it. Paprika the top of the fish. Oven for 15 min. This dish got me laid on a first date.

>>21668344Just about any Indian or Spanish chickpea dish is good. Look some up and try making a simple one to start with. There's a delicious Indian chickpea dish made with potatoes called Chana Aloo. I recommend that one. Falafel is really easy to make. Hummus is also really easy to make. For falafel and hummus you definitely want to use dried chickpeas, not canned ones. The canned ones are too wet and mushy to make good hummus or falafel.
Chickpea/garbanzos are great for easy salads -- green and red peppers, green onions, what-have-you under a citrus dressing. Mash or blend them alone or with beans for hummus. Soups. I buy them dried by the 25 lb bag. Cakes and pie crusts, perfect for savories. Thickener like potatoes dried. Dirt cheap and store for a long while. Underutilized.
>>21671403>I buy them dried by the 25 lb bagWhere do you buy a 25 lb bag of anything? I can barely find rice in 20 lb bags. Best I can get for chickpeas is 2 lb bags.
