Katy Beskow’s Coronation chickpea recipe

Looking for a little something special for your coronation celebrations? You’re in the right place. Katy Beskow, author of “Easy Speedy Vegan” and a friend of Thought, has shared with us her super-tasty Coronation chickpea recipe. Deliciousness guaranteed.

Recipe

Delicately spiced, creamy and fruity, these chickpeas are a modern twist on the classic. Use to fill a baguette, or to load into a baked potato. How golden the overall colour will be depends on the quantity of turmeric in the curry powder, as all brands vary – add a pinch of ground turmeric for added vibrancy of colour, if desired.
