Join the discussionIf I wanted to make this vegetarian and sub chickpeas for the chicken, how would I adjust the timing in the instant pot. Soaked chickpeas cook in about 10 min…
I think you would cook it just long enough for the chickpeas to cook, as the veggies will cook quickly (within just a few minutes on steam). Let us know how it turns out!
