• Braised chickpeas with carrots, dates and feta

  • KarinaFrancis on May 03, 2022

    Yum! This was so much more delicious than my photo would suggest. The chickpeas we’re soft and flavourful, I ended up needing a bit more water in the last half hour so I dissolved the salt in the extra water instead of adding it at the end. You can’t really taste the dates but they dissolved in the sauce and gave it a beautiful sweetness. Will make this again! UPDATE: the leftovers were even better the next day, I wilted some spinach through to bulk it up

    This came out much soupier than I expected (based on the photo, I guess), but that was fine as the sauce is delicious and the chickpeas were perfectly cooked. I think adding some salt a bit earlier to give it time to penetrate the ingredients is a good idea--I definitely noticed its uneven distribution. Overall, this made a tasty meal with not too much effort, and it was fun because this particular method and combination of ingredients is not something I would have come up with myself.

• Spicy chicken and split-pea traybake

  • Astrid5555 on February 17, 2019

    Excellent effort-to-outcome ratio, very little hands on time nedded for a delicious traybake. Used thighs only and a mixture of red, Puy and mountain lentils instead of the split green peas, worked perfectly. The only thing I would change is adding ground coriander instead of whole seeds next time, I just don‘t like biting into those whole seeds.
