Perello Lechoso Chickpeas

Perello Lechoso Chickpeas 400g are large, ready cooked chickpeas prized for their creamy texture and gently rounded flavour. The name lechoso translates as milky, which reflects their soft lactic notes balanced by subtle flavours of raw nuts. These chickpeas are firm yet yielding, holding their shape well during cooking while breaking down smoothly when mashed or blended. On the palate they feel dense at first, then turn silky and slightly fudgy, making them an excellent all round pulse for everyday cooking. They work just as well stirred through stews and salads as they do blended into hummus or dips where texture really matters.

Key Features:

  • 400g tin of lechoso chickpeas.
  • Large pearly chickpeas with a creamy texture.
  • Distinct lactic and nutty flavour profile.
  • Hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Produced in Spain by a specialist Mediterranean producer.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Blend into a smooth hummus with olive oil, lemon, and garlic for a rich, creamy result.
  • Add to slow cooked vegetable or lamb stews where they stay intact but tender.
  • Toss through salads with herbs, roasted vegetables, and a sharp dressing.
  • Mash gently with olive oil and seasoning for a rustic chickpea spread or side.

What makes lechoso chickpeas different from standard chickpeas?

Lechoso chickpeas are valued for their creamier interior and softer breakdown, which gives them a richer mouthfeel and makes them especially good for purées and dips.

Do these chickpeas need further cooking before use?

They are already cooked and can be used straight from the jar, although warming them gently in sauces or stews helps bring out their full flavour.

Why are these chickpeas often recommended for hummus?

Their ability to break down smoothly when blended creates a silkier texture with less graininess, resulting in a more refined hummus without extra effort.

Ingredients: 

Chickpeas (SULPHITES) (77%), water, salt. Chickpeas from Spain.
