Chef's Notes
Do not skip the baking soda! It acts as our secret weapon, breaking down the pectin in the chickpea skins so they turn delightfully velvety instead of chalky.
Pro Tip
If your gravy looks too thick while simmering, splash in an extra drop of water. If it is too thin, let it bubble uncovered for a few extra minutes.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the heat too high during the 15-minute lentil simmer will weld your split lentils to the bottom of the pot into a concrete-like monument of sadness.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My chef claims these chickpeas are 'meltingly creamy,' but I suspect he just forgot to turn the heat off for an hour and is trying to save face.
The Culinary Science
Baking soda creates an alkaline environment that accelerates the softening of plant cell walls, transforming firm legumes into a buttery puree in record time.
