Notes
Notes:In this recipe, I use oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar.It is flavourful and adds extra deliciousness to the dish.While I love using canned chickpeas for convenience, I make big batch of chickpeas cooked from beans with ease. Here's how I cook chickpeas in Instant Pot.To make a Vegan Marry me Chickpeas recipe, simply swap the cream for dairy free alternative. They are still so good.
