## Ingredients

2 cups chickpeas
8 cups water (for soaking, if patient)
8 cups water (for cooking)
4 cups water (for rinsing, optional)

## Patient

### Prep

#### Very Patient

Soak 2 cups beans overnight in 8 cups of water.

Drain soak water. Optionally rinse with 4 cups of water.

#### Less Patient

Add 2 cups chickpeas to 8 cups of water.

Cook in pressure cooker for 3 minutes and allow to sit for 4 hours.

Drain and discard soak water. Add final 8 cups of water.

### Cook

Cook for 20 minutes on high setting. Allow to release naturally. This is the Bean setting on most electric units.

Add any veggies or seasonings and cook appropriately, such as doing a 5 to 10 minute low pressure setting to keep a more firm texture.

## Impatient

Cook 2 cups beans in 8 cups of water on high for 40 minutes. Some electronic pressure cookers call this Multigrain, other have a More setting for Beans or will need it set manually.

Drain and rinse.

Serve.

## Very Impatient

Buy them canned. Rinse and heat them if you have time. 😂

## Conclusion?

Yeehaw!

# Seasonings

For 1 cup beans cooked impatiently tried:

1tsp oregano
1tsp thyme
1tsp rosemary
.5tsp lavendar flowers

Would half the rosemary and thyme next time.
