Product Description

Ottolenghi x Bold Bean Co Queen Black Chickpeas 570g showcase one of the most underrated ingredients in the pantry. Unlike traditional chickpeas, black chickpeas offer a firmer bite and a deeper, nuttier flavour, bringing extra texture and character to a wide range of dishes.

Selected by Ottolenghi and Bold Bean Co for their exceptional quality, these premium legumes retain their shape and texture during cooking, making them ideal for recipes where structure matters. Roast them until crisp and scatter over salads, simmer them into hearty stews and curries, or slowly confit them in olive oil to absorb rich flavours while maintaining their distinctive bite.

Packed in their own bean stock to preserve flavour and texture, these versatile chickpeas are ready to use straight from the jar. Whether you're creating vibrant Mediterranean dishes, comforting one-pot meals or protein-rich plant-based recipes, Queen Black Chickpeas offer a delicious way to elevate everyday cooking.
