Chickpeas are delicious and full of protein and we always have some in the cupboard or freezer.
One of our favourite things to do is to combine them with a Wasted Kitchen Dahl and, or tinned tomatoes and any veg that is lurking in the fridge and make Wasted Kitchen 'Shakshuka. Delicious as a last minute brunch, dinner, breakfast or lunch!
Here's our (very flexible) recipe - serves 2 generously.
Ingredients
- A chopped onion - we keep pre cut onion in the freezer to save time
- Clove or two of garlic - chopped
- Something to spice it up - we use cumin and chilli but coriander, paprika are good too
- Veg (optional)- courgette, peppers, aubergines, celery... (dig out whatever needs using/ is in the bottom of the veg box that you don't know what to do with)
- Chickpeas (optional) - can or equivalent cooked
- Tinned Tomatoes and/ or Wasted Dahl (or other Dahl!)
- Eggs - optional
- Feta / Plain Yoghurt- optional
- Spinach/ Rocket - optional
- Fry off the spices with onion and clove of garlic until soft (use a large frying pan, saucepan or wok).
- Add tomato and/ or Dahl - we used a 300 ml jar or tub of our Wasted Dahl
- Add a can of drained chickpeas (or equivalent if frozen) - if using.
- Turn hob down or put in preheated oven at 160 for 25 minutes
- At the last minute stir any spinach or rocket you might have lying around through it
- If you are feeling fancy or find yourself doing this for breakfast break an egg or three in and let them cook
- Sprinkle w Feta or yoghurt if you have some
- Tadaaah! Delicious meal made from larder ingredients and leftovers.
