How can I store chickpeas?
Asked by Ame_Evil (3051)

My supermarket substituted dried chickpeas for the can bought ones when we did our online shop, and I am unsure what stage to store them at for later use. I would usually just make as much as I needed at a time, but they take a long time to prepare so I was just thinking of doing the lot and storing the rest.
Their instructions say to soak for 10–12 hours and then boil-simmer for 1 hour 30 mins. Would I be able to keep them in the fridge or freeze them after cooking them and they will keep fine? How long would I expect them to last in the fridge if I did that? Or should I fridge/freeze them after the soaking stage?
Thanks.
Also any recipes involving chickpeas is welcome as well :D
