Zesty mushrooms and chickpeas
Background
This zesty mushrooms and chickpeas dish can be served as a vegan main dish (on toast, in a flatbread or a wrap), or a side dish (with grilled meat/fish) or as a starter with garlic bread. It’s super easy to make, it’s healthy and really zingy. To make it a bit more spicy, add cayenne or chilli flakes.
