Instructions. 1  Soak the chickpeas in water for 24 hours, changing the water twice. 2  Rinse the chickpeas and place in a saucepan with just enough water to cover the beans. Bring the chickpeas and water to a simmer for 15 minutes and then turn off the heat. 3  Let the chickpeas rest in the hot water for another 20 minutes.
