Have recipes that call for 1 cup dried Garbanso (Chick Peas) cooked. Most dried beans I have done in the past wentd 3X, meaning 1 cup dried = 3 cups cooked. Could I assume the same for chick peas and measure 1/3 cup? I'm trying to make low sodium humus (check my spelling there might be 2 m's). I sometimes half a recipe when I don't know if I'll like it or not.
Here's another: 1 1/2 cups dried black-eyed peas, cooked and drained.
Is that 1 1/2 cups measured when dry or when cooked and drained. This is for Marinated Black-Eyed Peas (Texas caviar) and with 1 cup of bell pepper added (1/2 red - 1//2 green) it would serve 4. If measure after cooking it would be 1 1/2 cups, if measured before it would be 4 1/2 cups. What I call a serving is usually a lot more then what the book calls a serving.
