Good Idea. I may try that. MOM
ReplyDeleteSo Miss Smarty pants how do you cook them in your crockpot? :)
ReplyDeleteI love chick peas - but what's Besan?
ReplyDeleteyum! my favorite bean! i can eat about a cup of hummus in one setting. strange, i had never even had that until about a year ago. gooooodd for you!
ReplyDeleterainy/dreary/chilly here....love, k
rock on! that's our way too. sometimes, though, we slip up and Need some in a jiffy so cans are good back ups.
ReplyDeletehowever, if we crocked and canned some then that would be the solution, wouldn't it?
home made hummus yum, yum with falafels of course
ReplyDeleteI buy a large bag of chickpeas (as we call them) and also cook them in my slow cooker and then freeze them in 8oz portions. They thaw beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHummus-- yum!
ReplyDeleteIlove doing this type of thing! I put them in the slow cooker too, then I freeze them, they turn out great. I also cook up black beans and pinto beans, with a clove of garlic and cumin, then put in portion containers to freeze. I use these for beans and tortillas, soups, bean dip...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I love beans but don't often cook them.I'd rather cook them than buy them as they are rather expensive to buy. I'll have to see if I still have my slow cooker.
ReplyDeleteWell it turns out I don`t have my slow cooker anymore. I now recall it burned out and I didn`t try to fix it. I went out though and bought some dried garbanzo beans which I reconstituted and used today in a beany garlic stew. It was very tasty.
