Recipe tips

This recipe is a great source of fibre, which is essential for good digestive health.
If you don't have any tinned chickpeas you could use dried ones, and follow the pack instructions to prepare and cook them.
To add extra flavour, add 1 tsp of tahini, or 1 tsp smoked paprika or cumin. To give it more zing, add the grated zest of lemon.
Freezing instructions: Freeze in portions then defrost in the fridge, or microwave, taking care to stir regularly.
