Description

This dish of soft, spiced chickpeas is a lovely way to bring out the earthy flavour of the mushrooms. Adding preserved lemons brings a subtle perfume to the dish and makes it feel a little North African or Middle Eastern. This would be lovely served with some natural yoghurt.

Ingredients

250g girolles, sliced in half if large
450g cooked chickpeas (drained weight)
1 large clove garlic, crushed or finely grated
1 onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 tea turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
Generous splash white wine
1 tablespoon preserved lemon rind, very finely chopped
Small handful parsley leaves (or micro parsley)
Butter for cooking

Method

Heat a generous chunk of butter in a frying pan and add the onion. Cook gently, until softened, around 10-15 minutes.
Add the spices except for the garam masala and continue to cook for a minute or so, stirring.
Add the girolles and garlic (and another small piece of butter, if needed) and cook for a further minute or so.
Add the white wine and allow to bubble down for a few minutes before adding the chickpeas and garam masala. Season with salt and pepper.
Allow the chickpeas to warm through before serving scattered with the parsley.
