Morrocan style chickpea and vegetable roast


I love this! 

I started by peeling and roughly dicing two large parsnips, and parboiling them on the stove. This will allow them to be soft on the inside and crisp on the outside once roasted.

Taking two handfuls of mixed baby peppers, I sliced them, keeping the seeds and tops attached. Once the parsnips are soft, I laid them out on a flat oven tray, now adding a tin of chickpeas, the sliced peppers, and whole cloves of garlic, still in their casings. I then covered the mix in olive oil and a generous sprinkle of turmeric, whole cumin seeds, ground coriander, ground ginger and paprika.
Place in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes. The peppers will blister and the parsnips will crisp up.

Once out of the oven, generously top with fresh coriander and serve with couscous.

Egg and Chickpea salad

This deliciousness in form of healthiness is the perfect lunch and an excellent source of protein for my fellow veggies out there.

1 tin of chickpeas
small tin of sweetcorn
diced plum tomatoes
half an avocado
handful of lettuce mixed with rocket
- Mix together in a happy mess and top with two warm hard boiled eggs.

Dash of olive oil and seasoning never harmed anyone.
