over-night soaking for chickpeas

Method

  1. If you have been soaking the chickpeas over night, rinse and place in large pan with sufficient water to cover them well. Bring to boil, then let cook at a gentle boil for 1h 40mins. Once cooked put to one side. If using jar/tinned chickpeas skip this step.
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat then add the onion, cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until soft. Next add the garlic, chilli, celery and carrot and cook for another 5 minutes, then add the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds...cook stirring for 1 more minute.
  3. Dice the potatoes and butternut squash the same size so they cook evenly and add to the saucepan. Add the red pepper, green beans, can of tomatoes, vegetable stock and lentils. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 30mins.
  4. Add the chickpeas and cook a further 10 minutes. Check seasoning.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in coriander and parsley.
  6. Serve with a small squeeze of lime, extra coriander leaves and a spoonful or two of yoghurt. Alternatively you can place each of these in small bowls on the table allowing people to serve themselves.

    if you have any left overs make enchiladas out of this too: Pop some sweetcorn, pinto beans and a little fajita mix in...reduce it as much as possible pop into tortillas topped with yogurt and cheese...cooked in the oven cheese is bubbling.
