Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the sweet potato into 2cm cubes (peel optional). Place onto a lined baking tray with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins.
- Trim the broccoli. In the final 8-10 mins, add the broccoli to the tray with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Continue roasting until the veg is soft and golden brown.
- Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve the pomegranate, then remove the seeds. Zest half the lime.
- Heat a medium frying on medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl with the lime zest and juice, half the parsley, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
- Reheat the frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add the chickpeas, cook for 3 mins, then add the garlic and paprika. Stir well then add the tomatoes, tomato paste and 100ml water. Simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has thickened and tomatoes softened. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining parsley and season with sea salt to taste.
- Serve the chickpeas with broccoli and sweet potatoes. Garnish with parsley dressing and pomegranate.
