Mushroom and chickpea ragoût

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan, then gently fry the onions for 10-12 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, then fry for 2 minutes more.
2. Meanwhile, put the dried wild mushrooms into a small bowl, pour over 200ml boiling water, then leave for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid, then roughly chop.
3. Add the chickpeas to the pan along with the mushrooms and their liquid. Tip in the tomatoes and chilli flakes, then season well. Simmer for 30 minutes. Scatter with the chopped parsley, if using, then serve.
