Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Get roasting

  • Slice the potatoes into 1cm thick rounds, then add to the lined baking tray. Toss with half the smoked paprika oregano blend, 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper
  • Place the whole garlic cloves onto a small piece of foil, drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil and loosely fold into a parcel. Add to the tray, alongside the potato. Roast for 20-25 mins, until the potato is soft and golden
  • After 10 mins, remove the garlic parcel and set aside to cool

Finish the prep & simmer the chickpeas

  • Meanwhile, finely dice the onion. Dice the pepper into 2cm chunks. Trim the green beans. Drain and rinse the chickpeas
  • Once cooled, remove the garlic from its skin and mash with a fork
  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 4-5 mins, until softening. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the remaining smoked paprika oregano blend, half the mashed garlic and the half pack of vegan 'nduja (add less for less heat) and cook for 2 mins, then stir in the passata, chickpeas and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Bring to a boil and simmer for 4-5 mins, until reduced slightly

Roast the green beans

  • When the potato has 10 mins remaining, add the green beans to one side of the tray. Toss with 1/2 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for the remaining time, until soft and golden

Last bits

  • Quarter the lemon. Finely chop the parsley
  • In the small bowl, combine the remaining mashed garlic with the yoghurt, the juice from 1 lemon wedge and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • When ready, toss the green beans with the almonds, half the parsley and the juice from 1 lemon wedge

Plate up

  • Share the chickpea stew and potatoes between plates, with the green beans alongside. Drizzle with the garlic yoghurt and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges to finish
