For making humous, I love using chana dal. Chana dal is basically chickpeas split in half with their shells removed. These cook from dry in 12 mins in a pressure cooker. This means you can make humous from dried chickpeas in under 15 mins.....I do this all the time. :-)

In my hummus, instead of tahini, I use: ground almonds and cashews with sesame and olive oil. Gives it more texture and can more easily adjust the amount of sesame taste.

I just made the hummus following Nisha's guidelines for canned chick peas and it tasted soapy. It took me a minute or two and a quick google to learn that it was probably from the baking soda when cooking the canned chick peas. So ... just a heads up.... I suggest a *very* little bit of baking soda and a very thorough rinsing. To fix the soapy taste I upped the salt and added more lime (one website suggested balancing the baking soda taste with acid). As suggested by Nisha in a different video I removed the peels from at least half of the chick peas. I got bored so I didn't finish the peeling process LOL Once I adjusted for the soapy taste it still came out pretty darn good and the texture was great. I will be making it again (and again). Thanks

If you don’t want to peal the garbanzo beans you can always purchase dried Chana Dhal, which is small, split, chickpeas with no skins. They last forever and make a luxuriously smooth hummus. Learned that from a great Lebanese channel.

I have to throw in a rec for a tahini brand that is a favorite of our huge syrian family - Al Kanater is head and shoulders above the rest. A little hard to find but available at most middle eastern grocery stores. Soooo luscious and sweet and creamy. We even have it as a dessert sometimes with some date syrup swirled in - it ends up having a nutty, caramely, but not too sweet flavor

Whats the best way to store the roasted chickpeas/crumbles? And how long do they last?

@RainbowPlantLife

Good question. I store them at room temperature in a storage container, but don’t completely close the container, leave it ajar. They’ll stay good for 3 to 4 days, though of course they’re crispiest on day one. You can revive them by tossing them with a bit of oil and spreading them out on a sheet pan and putting them in the oven at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes or adding them to a frying pan with a touch of oil.

Different lifestyles have to be taken into consideration. I only have access to dried chickpeas (unless I want to spend a lot of money for canned in a specialty store), and even that is a trick finding them in Mexico. We live on a sailboat, in extreme heat, so to use the pressure cooker on our induction cooktop (to save propane that fuels the galley stove), we have to have all other power drainers off (Air Conditioner, for example), so as not to trip the circuit breakers. If I had access to canned for under $6/can, I would be thrilled!

That braised chickpea recipe is so simple but sooooo delicious.

I remember on another video you said you learned that you can't make people turn vegan by beating them over the head with facts and logic, so instead you're out to show people how delicious eating vegan can be, and just letting them convince themselves. You're succeeding!!
