Ingredients
-
200g cooked chickpeas
juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 bunch mint, leaves only, finely chopped
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped, seeds removed
sea salt
3 or 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g small-leaf spinach
1 sweet potato
4 chunks peasant-style bread
a good pinch of salt
sea salt and black pepper
basil oil and grilled tomato (optional garnish)
Directions
Place the cooked chickpeas in a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice. Add the garlic, mint, parsley and chilli. Season generously with sea salt and pour over the olive oil. Toss together really well with your fingers and set aside.
Wash the spinach well and wilt over a gentle heat. Once it is wilted, remove from the heat immediately and drain. When it is cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess water, dress with the olive oil, and season with a little salt and black pepper. Now toss the chickpeas, spinach and sweet potato together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Grill 4 bits of chunky, peasant-style bread until golden brown. Pile on the chickpea, spinach and sweet potato mixture then drizzle with a little basil oil. A grilled tomato also works well as an optional garnish. Serve at room temperature.
