These are a wonderful, warming, flavourful dish which would be great as a vegan/vegetarian main or as a side dish. The original recipe writer cooked them over a campfire, and I think that sounds delicious! The thought of cooking these over an open fire almost (almost!) makes me want to go camping. Instead, I cooked them over my gas flame and they were pretty fantastic (and no creepy crawlies or tents to contend with).

  3. Add the spice mix and sauté for a further minute or two.
  4. Stir in the drained chickpeas and combine well. Make sure the chickpeas are heated thoroughly.
  5. Add your greens and sauté until they have just wilted but they still retain some texture.
