Chickpea Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Pour chickpeas into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Cover with a few inches of cool water. Close and lock the lid. Select Manual; set timer for 36 minutes on high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain chickpeas and let cool.

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter in a large saucepan until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add broth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened., Stir in the vegetables, chickpeas, potatoes, cream and Italian seasoning. Divide mixture among 4 ungreased 10-oz. ramekins., Unroll crust; divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion to fit ramekins; place crust over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in crust. Place ramekins on a baking sheet., Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat, add the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted, add the carrots, celery and onions and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Add the thyme, za'atar, paprika, cayenne and garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add the red wine. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer to reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas, parsley, butternut squash, apple and bay leaf and bring back to a simmer. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is thickened.
• Add the vinegar and honey and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Remove from the heat.
• Lay the phyllo on your work surface. Brush 1 sheet with some of the melted butter and sprinkle with a little za'atar. Slide your hands under the sheet and loosely crumple it from underneath; it should sort of look like a messy rose. Lay on top of the pot pie. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and butter, sprinkling each with a little za'atar. Sprinkle all over with a little flaky salt. Bake until the phyllo is crisp and golden and the vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with a little more parsley and serve.
• Let leftover pot pie come to room temperature and then store, phyllo on top, in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain chickpeas in cold water. Pick out any stones and dark brown chickpeas.
• Put drained chickpeas into your crock pot. Add water and salt.
• Cook on High for 2-3 hours or until soft. Depending on your tastes and what you are going to use them for you can remove when slightly firm or cook until they are very soft.
• When done, carefully pour into a colander, being careful to use oven mitts to handle the crock - it will be hot. Drain and rinse well.
• Chickpeas will keep for about 2 days in the fridge. They will keep longer if made into hummus. They also freeze quite well.
• To freeze chickpeas rinse and drain them thoroughly. Leave to drain well for about 15 minutes. Spread chickpeas onto a baking tray, making sure they don't touch one another. Put into freezer. When frozen, you can transfer the chickpeas to a freezer bag or plastic container for more permanent storage.

Steps:

• Combine the chickpeas, yogurt, lemon and korma paste in a bowl, then toss with the carrot, cabbage, spinach and mango. Tip into your lunchbox or an airtight container and scatter with the nigella seeds and red chilli.
