Double the spice, double the flavour
Soak 150g of dried chickpeas in water overnight and cook them until tender, which will take about 20 minutes.
One other ingredient that needs to be prepared beforehand is the red peppers which need roasting for 30 minutes at 150C gas 3. Once roasted pop them into a container for 20 minutes which will make it easier to remove the skins. Once they are peeled chop them into 1cm cubes.
