Description
This is pure comfort food for me—a creamy rich mash with spicy chickpeas. But the best bit is there are 4 servings of vegetables!
Ingredients
- ½ Medium Cauliflower, Chopped
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
- 1 Onion, Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Baharat
- 1 can (14 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Drained
- 4 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
Preparation
Bring 2cm (1 inch) of water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add cauliflower and simmer covered for 10–15 minutes or until really tender. (Be careful not to let it dry out and burn—add more water as needed.)
Meanwhile, melt half the butter in a small frying pan. Add onion and cook over medium heat until soft but not browned, about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, add the spice, chickpeas and tomato. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, taste and season with salt and pepper.
When cauliflower is cooked, drain and return to the pan you cooked it in with the remaining butter. Puree with a stick blender or mash well with a fork.
Serve spiced chickpeas on a bed of cauliflower mash.
