Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 4 tomatoes, diced
  • 100g butternut squash or sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 300ml veg stock (or 300ml water with ½ tsp celery salt and ½ tsp steak seasoning)
  • 150g kale
  • 300g chickpeas
  • Zest 1 lemon

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Finely slice half the onions and place them on a baking tray with 4 cloves of garlic. Drizzle in oil and add salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 mins until golden.

  3. Add the kale and chickpeas and cook for a further 10 minutes.
  4. Serve with the roasted onions and garlic, some extra capers and a few grates of lemon zest.
