Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 2 courgettes, sliced
- 2 peppers, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- A drizzle of olive oil
- 400g can of chick peas, washed and drained
- 2 x 400g can tinned tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed/chopped
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tbsp. honey or syrup
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- Black pepper
- Small bunch of fresh coriander, roughly chopped (optional)
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 200⁰C.
- Next, chop up the vegetables into small chunks and place onto a baking tray. Wash and drain the chickpeas and add to the tray.
- Mix the vegetables with the chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil. Add black pepper to season.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30-35mins or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
- Whilst the vegetables are cooking, place the tinned tomatoes, syrup, crushed garlic, cumin and chilli flakes into a pan. Cook on a moderate heat until the mixture starts to boil, then reduce the temperature and leave to simmer for 10-15mins.
- Once the vegetables and chickpeas are cooked, add them to the tomato mixture and sprinkle with some fresh coriander.
- Serve and enjoy on its own or combine it with your choice of carbohydrate for a more filling meal. Rice, quinoa, warm pitta bread or even a baked potato are great accompaniments and increase the fibre content of this meal even more so.
