How to Clean Chickpeas Properly: This Will Make Your Dishes Even Tastier
Not all housewives, especially those who are preparing chickpeas for the first time, know that they need to be peeled.
Although this procedure is not required for all recipes, with this chickpea the dish is guaranteed to be more tender, and therefore tastier.
First, the beans need to be soaked. It is believed that if you rub the peas between your palms, all the husks will come off, but in practice this does not always work.
Instead, grate the peas in a circular motion on a cutting board with a grater - this will eliminate the chance of the chickpeas retaining their shell.
However, there is another method that is more suitable for preparing hummus.
In this case, you will need to soak and boil the chickpeas in the usual way, and when they are ready, remove them from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and immerse them in cold water.
To make the temperature difference truly contrasting, add crushed ice to the water.
All that remains is to vigorously stir the contents of the container, and the skins will separate from the peas on their own.
