Spicy chickpeas
This recipe requires preparation in advance!
I wanted a fairly bland, almost pease pudding style chickpea dish to go with the highly spiced Slow roast herby pork belly, so no garlic allowed!
Having just tasted this, with a fairly rough blend, it tastes somewhat like spicy roasted peanuts. Yum!
