CREAMY HERBY LEMON CHICKPEAS I’ve been cooking with beans a lot recently and had almost forgotten about the versatility of chickpeas! The fresh, Mediterranean flavours in this dish make it sooo more-ish: lemon, chilli and fresh herbs add loads of flavour to the creamy sauce. Finish it off with lots of lemon zest and a big drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for extra kick! Recipe serves 2 1 tbsp olive oil 2 x 400g tins of chickpeas, drained 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 1/2 tsp turmeric 150ml vegetable stock 200ml unsweetened soya milk 10g dill, chopped 15g flat leaf parsley, chopped 80g baby leaf spinach Zest of 1 lemon 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice To serve: Lemon zest Chilli flakes Chopped fresh dill EVOO Add the olive oil to a pan on a medium heat. Add the chickpeas, chilli flakes, turmeric and a generous pinch of salt. Fry for about 5 minutes over the heat. Add the vegetable stock and soy milk and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and thickens slightly. Stir in the dill, parsley and spinach. Stir through until wilted. Stir through the lemon juice and zest and top with more herbs, lemon zest, chilli flakes and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy! #chickpeas #veganrecipes #veganmeals #vegan #vegetarian
