Notes

NOTE: I make my chickpeas in my Instant Pot instead of using canned chickpeas. To make chickpeas in your Instant Pot soak dried chickpeas in water overnight or for 8-12 hours.
Rinse and drain them, add them to the Instant Pot with just enough water to cover them and cook on MANUAL high pressure, for 15 minutes. When the time is up let the pot naturally release pressure, about 25 minutes. Rinse and drain then use in place of canned chickpeas. 
If you're using unsoaked chickpeas you'll need to cook them for 35 minutes.
