Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Wash the chickpeas.
  2. Add the salt to the water.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet or a griddle.
  4. Pour the salted water onto the skillet.
  5. Put the chickpeas, still in their pods, in the steaming water.
  6. Let steam for a few minutes, until the pods are bright green and a bit tender - test one to see if the chickpea is ready - you can even eat them raw, so they really don't need to cook much.
  7. Remove all the chickpeas in their pods from the skillet. Shell and eat as a healthy snack.
