Tasty dishes where chickpeas are the main ingredient? (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to eat more beans as I eat less meat and making them from scratch is not an option. Pre-cooked beans are very hard to find where I live apart for chickpeas apparently.

Didn't know falafels were a thing! That's perfect for me as I also want to include spinach. I also didn't know you could eat chickpeas without pressure cooking them, so this is even better as dried chickpeas are cheaper. Thanks!

You need to soak the chickpeas for a few hours before cooking them, ideally with baking soda do they cook faster.
