Brining chickpeas?

Postby Neffy on Sun Sep 29, 2013 10:06 pm

Has anyone tried fermenting chickpeas in brine? Maybe as part of a mixed vegetable ferment? I have a lot of chickpeas and I'm curious to give this a try (and I think they would be delicious with pickled carrots and garlic), but I haven't seen it described anywhere so I'm wondering if I'm in for a jar full of wasted vegetables.

If I do try it, should I cook them first? I'm assuming so.

How did this turn out? I am thinking it would be tasty but not sure how to do it. Thinking maybe separate ferments...the beans in one jar or whatever and the veggies in another. Then combine??? No expert but just wondering if they would be quite different.

Hi Aliyanna - I still haven't tried this, no. Have you?

I think I'm going to just give it a shot, and take the risk that it won't work out. Presumably there's nothing that would make me sick, so the worst that would happen is mushiness. My plan is to soak and drain (but not cook) the chickpeas first, then ferment in brine with garlic and perhaps some carrots and brussels sprouts.
