Queen Chickpeas

This is the ultimate chickpea. It's tender, giant and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them.

Directions

step 1
Mix the goats cheese and greek yogurt together in a bowl; you’re looking for a whipped consistency. Set aside in the fridge.
step 2
To make the tomato paste, grate all the tomatoes in a bowl, then add the grated garlic, basil, balsamic, olive oil and a good pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper and mix well to combine.
step 3
Add the chickpeas to the tomatoes and stir to combine.
step 4
Spoon the whipped goats cheese onto a large serving platter. Tumble over the tomatoey chickpeas and finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil. Mop up with focaccia or crusty bread.

Mighty Queen Chickpeas

This is the ULTIMATE chickpea. It's tender, GIANT and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them. Try them in this spiced tomato + harissa stew or as a hearty filling in this coronation chickpea sandwich. Or crisp them up in the oven for crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-centre marvels to top onto soup, salads or stews.
Additive and preservative-free. Just the highest quality beans, water and a pinch of salt.
