Ingredients

200g dried chickpeas
6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Juice 1 large lemon
2 ripe plum tomatoes, roughly chopped
Small handful fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
50g wild rocket
150g mild, creamy goat’s cheese, crumbled

Method

Put the chickpeas in a bowl of cold water and leave to soak overnight.
Drain the chickpeas, place in a pan and cover with fresh water. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly, partially covered, for 1 hour or until very tender. Drain well and place in a large bowl. While warm, pour over the oil and lemon juice and season. Cool.
Toss the tomatoes, parsley and rocket with the chickpeas. Divide among plates and crumble over the goat’s cheese to serve.
