This dish has a little kick of spice thanks to the harissa chickpeas that work perfectly with the thick tahini dressing to bring the whole dish together.

As you all know… I love chickpeas, so, is it really a big surprise that there is another one on here? But trust me, you’re going to love this one just as much as I do.
This one combines the smokey flavours of harissa and smoked paprika with peppers, kale and sweet tomatoes for the perfect dish that works just as great as a starter as it does for a side when served hot, or served cold for lunch the next day (or just eaten straight out of the fridge like I do!)
Served under my delicious creamy chickpeas are juicy roast portobello mushrooms, which I drizzle with my favourite tahini dressing. It’s a dish packed with gorgeous fresh Mediterranean flavours that you can whip up in just under an hour and works brilliantly when served with an enormous bed of seasonal leaves and fresh herbs or even with lots of crispy bread to mop up all the delicious juicy flavours. Absolute perfection!
The best part about this recipe is you can make it as smokey or as spicy as you like – go rogue with your own measurements of herbs and spices to make the dish your own. I love adding in mint for extra freshness in the summer and chopped chillies or a sprinkle of dukkha in the winter.
