    I make it with the liquid from the tin all the time. The recipe has been tested many many times by myself and has been refined to what is now here.

    If it wasn't edible the chickpeas wouldn't be edible. The liquid from the tin holds a lot of the flavour from the chickpeas. It isn't just salty water.

    The liquid chickpeas are canned in is intended to be rinsed thoroughly before consumption. It's essentially saltwater, with a hit of some other preservatives. If I were to make this recipe, I'd substitute the liquid from the can with some more olive oil and maybe a bit of just plain saltwater.
