Best tasting garbanzo beans via pressure cooker method
Absolutely the best tasting garbanzo beans I was ever been able to buy in US. I prepare them differently than what they recommend using a pressure cooker:
1. Wash 1 Cup beans in cold water. Discard "floaters"
2. Soak the beans overnight in 3 cups of water with one teaspoon of salt.
3. Strain, put in a pressure cooker (I use a Kuhn Rikon Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker, 5 qt). Add a fresh 3 cups of water with one teaspoon of salt. Bring pressure to first ring. Cook for 8 minutes (9 minutes for older beans). Use natural release (=take off heat & let the pressure drop slowly until it can be opened). If you feel the beans are too hard just let them stay in the hot water longer, and they are too soft cook them less next time.
