Step:

  1. Place Dry Chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. The chickpeas will expand to over double their size, so make sure you cover with plenty of water. Soak overnight.

  2. Drain the water and discard. Place chickpeas in a blender or food processor. Add Water, and blend into fine pulp that can be filtered by the Cheesecloth that you use.

  3. Pour the mixture through Cheesecloth and remove the pulp. Squeeze well and get much liquid as you can. *Note: Use the nutrients-packed pulp for cooking.

  4. Stir the liquid very well before you pour it into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon, until it is cooked and looks like custard.

  5. Pour into a plastic container or a container lined with plastic food wrap. Set aside to cool, then chill in the fridge.

  6. Enjoy with your favourite toppings and sauce. Today I enjoyed with 1/2 Tomato, 1 Spring Onion, 1 teaspoon grated Garlic and 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce.

  7. Today I added Chickpea Tofu to a salad, with Broad Beans and Sesame Dressing.
