CURRIED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Fry the cumin, chillies, clove, cinnamon and bay leaf together until the cumin starts to crackle. Tip in the onion, turmeric and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 mins until starting to soften, then add the garlic.
• Continue cooking 4-5 mins until the onion is soft, then add chickpeas, paprika, black pepper and ground coriander. Give everything a good stir so the chickpeas are well coated in the spices.
• Add the tomatoes and 2 tbsp water. Cook on a medium heat until tomatoes are soft and the sauce is thick and pulpy. Take off the heat and sprinkle on the coriander.

HOW TO MAKE DRIED CHICKPEAS IN A CROCK-POT

Steps:

• Rinse and drain chickpeas in cold water. Pick out any stones and dark brown chickpeas.
• Put drained chickpeas into your crock pot. Add water and salt.
• Cook on High for 2-3 hours or until soft. Depending on your tastes and what you are going to use them for you can remove when slightly firm or cook until they are very soft.
• When done, carefully pour into a colander, being careful to use oven mitts to handle the crock - it will be hot. Drain and rinse well.
• Chickpeas will keep for about 2 days in the fridge. They will keep longer if made into hummus. They also freeze quite well.
• To freeze chickpeas rinse and drain them thoroughly. Leave to drain well for about 15 minutes. Spread chickpeas onto a baking tray, making sure they don't touch one another. Put into freezer. When frozen, you can transfer the chickpeas to a freezer bag or plastic container for more permanent storage.

Steps:

• Pro-tip: pre-heat the water (or broth) in the microwave to give the cooking a little kick-start.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3½ - 4 hours or on LOW for 6 - 7 hours. Check the beans at 3 hours if cooking on HIGH, and at 5 hours if cooking on LOW if you prefer your beans to be al dente. Different slow cookers cook at different temperatures, which will affect the cook time.
