Roasted chickpeas for houmous?

Roasted chickpeas for houmous? - Overhead Shot of Baked Vegetables

I accidentally bought roasted, salted chickpeas (I've never heard of this - why would anyone want that?) instead of normal, dried chickpeas. To be clear, these chickpeas are dry and powdery, rather than boiled chickpeas roasted with salt to make a soft/crispy snack.

Can I still use them to make houmous? Or should I give this one up?

Best Answer

Roasted, salted dry chickpeas are a snack food.

I would not expect for you to be able to make humus out of them; for one thing, they would have way too much salt, and the texture would be wrong. It might be possible with a lot of experimentation, but you'd need to go through several failed batches before you got one which worked. Personally, I'd just go back to the store.

    Answer 2

    I soaked the roasted chickpeas for 24 hours or so, with a few changes of water, and they seemed to rehydrate just fine.

    I cooked them in a pressure cooker until tender (overall, about 50 minutes, in 15 minute stretches), and they ended up with about the right texture, but with a washed-out taste, and the water looked like a thin, white, chickpea broth. I didn't waste any ingredients trying to actually turn that into houmous.
