Kikkererwten met chili en kaas, en gekonfijte jalapeño's

These aren’t your average chickpeas. Simmered in smoky spices, sweetcorn and tomato, then swirled with cream cheese for extra richness – they’re the star of this dish. Finished with bubbling mozzarella and sweet-and-spicy candied jalapeños, it’s the kind of dish you scoop straight from the pan with crunchy tortilla chips and zero regrets. Perfect for cosy nights, lazy weekends, or whenever you're craving something a little indulgent (without much effort). This would also be delicious on toast or as a jacket potato topping.

1

To make the candied jalapeños, add the sugar, vinegar and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the jalapeños and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let them cool in the syrup.

2

Heat a dash of oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over a low heat. Add the chopped onion, season with salt and cook for around 15 minutes, until softened. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add the tomato purée, smoked paprika and ground cumin. Tip in the chickpeas with their liquid and the sweetcorn. With the back of a spoon, squish around 2/3 of the chickpeas util they are lightly mashed.

4

Heat the grill to high.

5

Add 200ml water, the cream cheese and 1 tbsp of the candied jalapeños to the chickpeas and mix well until combined. Simmer gently for 3 minutes then season to taste. Scatter the grated mozzarella on top then pop the pan under the grill until golden and bubbling, around 5 – 7 minutes.

6

Sprinkle with the rest of the candied jalapeños and sliced spring onions, then serve with the tortilla chips. Tuck in and enjoy!
