Meet the plant
Cicer arietinum is the plant commonly called chickpea or garbanzo bean. Its seeds appear in several culinary forms, including dried, cooked, canned, and milled.
At the kitchen table
The salad in this collection begins with cooked chickpeas. If starting from dried seeds, they require a separate cooking process before joining the salad; dry and cooked weights are not interchangeable.
A thread to follow
Naming the form keeps both a shopping list and a nutritional comparison honest. In a family notebook, that detail can be as important as the ingredient itself.
