Note
Remember, soaking and boiling your own chickpeas may add significant time to the preparation of this recipe, but it aligns better with the Whole Health Flexi-Plan's focus on whole, unprocessed foods. Always take into account the extra time needed for soaking and cooking dried chickpeas. It is usually best to soak them overnight and they typically take around 1-2 hours to cook until tender.
