Drain the ready chickpeas and finely chop the onion.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and hot water, then close the lid.
Cook the casserole over low heat for 25 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and thyme and boil for 8 minutes more.
Remove from the heat and rest for 10 minutes so the lemon aroma soaks into the chickpeas.
Lift the casserole with a spoon without crushing it, so the chickpeas do not shed their skins and turn into puree.
💡 Tip: Adding the lemon juice in the last 10 minutes lets the chickpeas take flavor without becoming firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with thyme and olive oil.
