    Recipe Pumpkin and Marrow Tagine

    I adore Moroccan tagines (stews) and they work incredibly well as vegetarian/vegan dishes. This one combines two kinds of 'squash' - earthy sweet pumpkin (or butternut squash), with the fresh rather watery taste of vegetable marrow or courgettes (zucchini). To get the pretty striped effect on...

    Recipe Chickpea, aubergine and pomegranate salad

    I rather like the idea of aubergine and pomegranate so thought I would add this recipe which combines then with chickpeas, cumin and tahini. I think the only thing missing really is pomegranate molasses which I think I would use instead of honey! Ingredients 400-500g baby aubergines...

    Chickpea Salad with Tahini

    I finally tried a recipe I pinned a while back for chickpea salad with cucumbers and tomato. I had a large can of chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans) and a jar of tahini that needed to be used. I only had one lemon (needed juice from two) and I was out of olive oil, so I had to improvise a bit. I...

    Chickpea patties

    Recently I made a burger pattie out of chickpeas instead of blackbeans. I ground up the chickpeas, added an egg, seasonings and browned it just as I would a blackbean burger. The pattie was good and better when I added spicey brown mustard to it. The chickpea pattie was better to me than the...

    Chickpeas

    I accidentally picked up two tins of chickpeas the other day instead of the kidney beans I had intended to buy. The thing is, I don't usually buy these and have no idea what to make with them. Have any of you got some imaginative ideas for recipes including chickpeas?
