Serves: 5
Ingredients
-
- 800g tinned chickpeas
-
- 5 boiled potatoes
-
- 1 fresh red chilli
-
- 1 large red onion
-
- 1 lemon
-
- 1/2–1 teaspoon garam masala spice mix
-
- good pinch salt
-
- olive oil, to taste
-
- large handful parsley, chopped
Method
Drain the chickpeas and rinse them well under water.
Peel and dice the boiled potatoes. De-seed and finely chop the chilli, and peel and finely chop the red onion.
Scrub the lemon in warm water and dry well. Grate the yellow lemon peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. Squeeze the lemon juice.
In a salad bowl, combine the chickpeas and potatoes with the red onion, lemon zest, lemon juice (add half the lemon juice to start, then taste and add more if needed) and chilli. Sprinkle with the garam masala and a pinch of salt. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped parsley, then gently toss to combine.
