Notes
Note one: In this recipe, I use canned chickpeas to save time, but there is a case to be made that cooking your chickpeas makes a difference. To do this, soak dried chickpeas in plenty of water with a tsp of baking soda overnight. Ensure they are fully submerged in the water because the chickpeas will expand. Rinse, and cook the chickpeas for about an hour, or until tender, and then drain.
