Stir occasionally, then lower the heat to finish cooking to your desired texture. Add a touch of garlic towards the end of cooking and a splash of apple cider vinegar before serving. Cooked chickpeas turn this side dish into a vegetarian main. The stage of ripeness and thickness of the flesh will change the culinary result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper retains more firmness. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having firm bites next to overcooked parts.
