When time allows, there are two methods I like to follow to cook chickpeas from scratch:<\/p>\n Just remember, dried chickpeas will triple in size when cooked (if not a little bit more), so you will need less. Or feel free to make a batch and enjoy them all week. Cooked chickpeas will keep 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n This Greek Gr\u00fcnkern salad with chickpeas recipe works perfectly as a side dish or as a main meal salad, since it is also plenty filling. If you\u2019ve never tried Gr\u00fcnkern before, this is a great way to get acquainted with this delicious grain. It has a mild, nutty flavor and a delicious chewy texture. It\u2019s the perfect thing for upgrading salads so they can be enjoyed as a main meal. You can also swap out Gr\u00fcnkern for barley, spelt, freekeh<\/a>, or even quinoa if you can\u2019t find it at your local grocery or organic food store.<\/p>\n![\"Rezept](\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Gruenkernsalat-Rezept-2018-2.jpg\")
