["Rinse the plumped up chickpeas and cover with enough water in a large pot. Add a pinch of baking soda and bring to boil. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes until the chickpeas are soft but not mushy. Rinse the cooked beans, drain and set aside to cool to room temperature.", "Remove and discard the seeds from the preserved lemon. Chop the fruit finely and using the flat surface of the knife, crush the pulp to mush (peel, pulp & juice). Transfer the entire lemon mush into a mixing bowl. Combine with the olive oil, cumin, chile (adjust as per your personal heat preference or omit), peppercorn, onions and parsley.", "Add the chickpeas and the pomegranate arils to the preserved lemon mixture and gently fold to coat the chickpeas. Taste for seasoning and adjust for salt. (The preserved lemon already is quite salty, so add the salt carefully).
