Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil e.g. sesame, olive, coconut
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • salt to taste
  • 240 g cooked chickpeas equivalent to 400g tin, drained

Tahini Miso Dressing

  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chilli sauce e.g. sweet chilli sauce, sriracha
  • 1 lemon juice only
  • 1 clove garlic skinned, finely grated or chopped
  • 1 heaped tsp miso paste
  • sweetener to taste (e.g. sugar, maple syrup, honey) optional
  • water to thin optional

Vegetable Slaw

  • 140 g white cabbage sliced thinly
  • 140 g red cabbage sliced thinly
  • 2 medium carrots julienned or grated
  • 6 spring onions shredded
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaf roughly torn or chopped

To Serve

  • cucumber, radishes, tomatoes, olives optional
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (half black/half white for contrast)

Instructions

Crispy Chickpeas

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200 fan/Gas 7

  2. Rinse and drain the chickpeas then put them on kitchen paper or a clean tea towel. Gently rub to dry the chickpeas and remove their skins: this will help them get crispier.

  3. In a bowl, stir together the oil, garlic granules and salt.

    Add the chickpeas and stir to coat them.

  4. Place the chickpeas on a shallow baking tray (line the tray with greaseproof paper or baking parchment if it isn't non-stick).

  5. Bake for 15-25 minutes until the chickpeas are brown and crispy. Note: can burn easily so check every 4 minutes or so.

    Set aside when done.

Tahini Miso Dressing

  1. Put all the ingredients in a small bowl (you may want to start with only half the lemon juice) and whisk to make a creamy dressing.

    Taste and add more lemon or any of the other ingredients if needed. Stir in a little water to thin the dressing if necessary.

    Set aside.

Vegetable Slaw

  1. Put all the prepared vegetables in a large bowl.

    About 5 minutes before you're ready to serve, toss the vegetables with half of the Tahini Miso Dressing then set aside.

Serving

  1. Divide the dressed Vegetable Slaw between 2 bowls.

    Scatter over the Crispy Chickpeas

    Spoon the rest of the Tahini Miso Dressing into the bowl (in a pool or drizzle it over if you prefer). Add the cucumber, radish etc. if using.

    Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve.
