    Spicy Smashed Chickpeas from Deliciously Ella
    BREAKFAST

    Using only a handful of ingredients, these spicy smashed chickpeas are a go-to for speedy
    meals. We love them piled onto avocado on sourdough toast.

    INGREDIENTS
    1 x 14 oz tin chickpeas
    ½ teaspoon paprika
    ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
    1 clove garlic
    3 tablespoons almond milk
    1 tablespoon harissa paste
    2 slices of toasted bread
    1 ripe avocados
    squeeze of lemon juice
    drizzle of olive oil
    pinch of sea salt & black pepper

    Method
    1 Place a large pan over medium heat and add a
    drizzle of olive oil. Once warm, add the drained
    chickpeas, paprika, turmeric, garlic and a
    sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and
    cook for 4–5 minutes until the chickpeas are
    golden and sizzling.
    2 Add the milk and harissa; stir to combine.
    Leave to bubble gently for 3–4 minutes. While
    the chickpeas are cooking, use a fork to gently
    mash them in the pan (if you mash gently, the
    fork won’t scrape the pan, so no need to worry
    about damaging a non-stick coating). Once
    thickened, adjust seasoning to taste.
    3 Serve on toast with sliced avocado and a
    squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

    We also love to top this with a drizzle of spicy sriracha sauce.
