Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Finely chop carrot and celery. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). Drain and rinse chickpeas. • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add chilli and set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot and celery, stirring, until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add chickpeas, chermoula spice blend and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the plant-based butter and the brown sugar. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.
• While the chickpeas are simmering, slice mini flourtortillas into quarters. • Divide tortillas between two lined oven trays (don't worry if they overlap). Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until lightly golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, stir baby spinach leaves through the slightly thickened chickpeas. Lightly mash chickpeas. Remove from heat. Season to taste.
• Drain pickled chilli. • Divide Middle Eastern-style chickpeas between bowls. Top with pickled chilli and a dollop of plant-based coconut yoghurt. Tear over parsley. • Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The chermoula spice blend delivers bold, hearty flavour that wins over even self-confessed chickpea sceptics. Some found the tomato base a touch overpowering or sweet; balancing with extra spice or a squeeze of acid can help.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward cook, with the tortilla chips being the only step some felt was not worth the effort.
- Suggestions: Adding extra vegetables like snow peas, sweet potato, or onion works well, and some customers boosted the protein with beef mince or mussels. A few preferred using the tortillas soft for scooping rather than baking them, which is an easy time-saver.
- Leftovers: Several customers enjoyed the chickpea mixture the next day for lunch, finding it reheated well and held its flavour.
- Portions: Many customers found the serving size on the smaller side, particularly for four people, and suggested adding rice or couscous to bulk it out.
- Coconut yoghurt: Opinions were mixed — some loved it as a creamy contrast, while others found the flavour artificial and swapped it for plain yoghurt from their fridge.
