Bold Bean Co. x Ottolenghi Black Chickpeas

Black chickpeas don't get nearly enough attention...though we're not sure why. They've got more bite than their cream-coloured counterparts, holding their ground with a stubborn (and delicious) resilience. We reach for these when texture is needed – roasted and scattered over salads, simmered in a stew, or confited slowly in oil, taking on flavour without surrendering their character.

We've joined forces with Bold Beans, fellow bean obsessives, to bring these overlooked gems into the spotlight. It's a fitting friendship: we share a love of good beans and all their incredible possibilities.
