Method

Your notes

1. Preheat the oven to 200ยฐC fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Spread out the chickpeas onto the lined baking tray and dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Add the zaโ€™atar, olive oil and some seasoning. Mix thoroughly with your hands and bake for 20 minutes until crispy.

3. Meanwhile, blend the peas, 2 tablespoons of the tahini, the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a splash of hot water in a bullet blender into a smooth green paste. Add more water if needed to help it blend properly.

4. Spread onto the toasted sourdough, top with the crispy chickpeas, remaining tahini, a sprinkle of zaโ€™atar and the lemon zest and finish with the chopped parsley and pea shoots, if using.

Absolutely delicious. One serving was too much for me so I halved everything as best I could.
