  1. ROASTING TIME

    Place a pan, with a lid, over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the broccoli chunks for 6-7 minutes until lightly charred, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add the chilli flakes (to taste). Add a splash of water, cover with the lid, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until cooked but still al dente. Remove from the pan on completion.

  2. NUGGETS OF WISDOM

    In a bowl, add the drained chickpeas and mash with a potato masher or fork until a rustic mash. Add the flour, the rub, the diced onion, the grated carrot, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Roll into 4-5 nuggets.

  3. BITES OF DELIGHT

    Return the pan to a medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, add the chickpea nuggets and fry for 2-4 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from the pan on completion and drain on paper towel.

  4. ZINGY SALAD

    Just before serving, combine the rinsed green leaves, the crumbled feta, the chopped pickled peppers, the cucumber half-moons, a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some seasoning.

  5. ORDER’S UP!

    Plate up the golden chickpea nugget bites and the chilli broccoli. Side with the fresh salad and a lemon wedge. Serve with the mayo for dunking. Tuck in, Chef!
