  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • ¾ cup red split lentils, rinsed
  • 1 x 400g tin Rhodes Quality Chickpeas in Brine, drained

METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C

Add Hinds Spices Pure Ground Ginger, Hinds Spices Turmeric, Hinds Spices Cinnamon, salt, pepper and garlic and cook for further couple of minutes. Add stock and lentils. Bring to a boil then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Place the Rhodes Quality Chickpeas in Brine onto a roasting tray and drizzle over a little olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
