Soak the chickpeas in water, adding 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and leave for at least 10 hours.

Step 2

Squeeze the juice from the lemon and crush the garlic clove.

Step 3

Rinse the chickpeas, cover with water twice the amount of chickpeas, add the remaining baking soda, bring to a boil, skim off any foam, and cook until the chickpeas start to break down (from 50 minutes and longer).
