Chickpeas have one of the longest cooking times of all beans (right up there with Red Kidney Beans and Soya Beans.) Soak overnight (or 8 hours.) Drain, then put in a pot, cover with hot water (fans say hot water, not cold), bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low, slow simmer for 3 hours. Use 4 cups (2 pints / 1 litre) of water per 1 cup (7 oz / 200g) of beans. To cook in a pressure cooker, pre-soak for 12 hours, then cook for 20 to 25 minutes. If you come across a recipe that suggests adding a pinch of baking soda to the cooking water, this is no longer necessary, unless your water is very hard.
