Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 6 Pitta Bread split in half + sliced in triangles
  • 100 grams TVP
  • 320 ml Vegetable Stock
  • 1 tsp Marmite
  • 400 gram Can of Chickpeas
  • 1 Aubergine finely diced
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Ground Coriander
  • 2 tsp Ground All Spice
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • Salt + Pepper to season

Tahini Yoghurt

  • 400 grams Soy Yoghurt
  • 4 tbsp Tahini
  • 1 Garlic Clove minced
  • Juice of half a Lemon

To Serve

  • 50 grams Pine Nuts lightly toasted
  • Seeds from 1 Pomegranate
  • Small handful of mint leaves finely sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.
  • Combine the hot vegetable stock with marmite, then add to to the TVP to rehydrate. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Lay chickpeas out on a baking sheet and drizzle over 1 tbsp of olive oil. Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes - or a little crispy.
  • To cook the pita chips, lay the triangles out on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle over a little salt. Place in oven and cook for 5 minutes or until desired crispiness.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onion and garlic, sauté until the onions are beginning to soften. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for a further 5 minutes until looking a little golden.
  • Turn the heat back to medium-high and add the aubergine to the onions. Cook for 5 minutes, at this point the aubergine should be turning a little brown and softening.
  • Add the spices to the onion and aubergine. Combine everything well and cook for 1-2 minutes until lovely and fragrant.
  • To the spicy mix, add the rehydrated TVP. Mix well and cook for a further 10 minutes over medium heat to allow the flavours to come together nicely.
  • Toss the chickpeas through the spicy mix and set aside until ready for serving.
  • To make the Tahini Yoghurt, whisk together the yoghurt, tahini, lemon and minced garlic in a large bowl. It should be lovely and velvety when ready!
  • To assemble, lay the pita chips out on a large serving tray. Spoon over the spicy mince mix, followed by the tahini yoghurt. Sprinkle over toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and sliced mint.
