5. Simmer until the peas become mush. Serve sprinkled with lemon juice.
Tips
Dry chickpeas keep up to a year in an airtight container in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. During storage, they may either absorb or lose moisture, which will affect the soaking and cooking time. If stored longer than 12 months, or exposed to unfavorable storage conditions, chickpeas may never soften sufficiently, no matter how long they’re soaked or cooked.
