Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Spread out the chickpeas onto the lined baking tray and dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Add the za’atar, olive oil and some seasoning. Mix thoroughly with your hands and bake for 20 minutes until crispy.
3. Meanwhile, blend the peas, 2 tablespoons of the tahini, the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a splash of hot water in a bullet blender into a smooth green paste. Add more water if needed to help it blend properly.
4. Spread onto the toasted sourdough, top with the crispy chickpeas, remaining tahini, a sprinkle of za’atar and the lemon zest and finish with the chopped parsley and pea shoots, if using.

Fabulous - added home made fermented lemon paste as I do to most things!
Nice option for lunch
Really yummy! I used edamame beans as don't like peas and it was very tasty and easy for a healthy lunch.
Very tasty and filling. Very easy to make.
I’m bored eating the same breakfast week after week and was looking for something delicious and nutritious. This recipe hit the spot. I even made my own zaatar!
Loved this, really easy and very tasty
Super tasty, I think I’ll add fresh mint to the pea mixture next time. Massively filling.
Popped a little harissa on the chickpeas with the za’atar and it went very well.
Loved Virtual Dr Rupy being able to give me a swap for fresh lemon to bottled juice and approx ratio!
Had it on DK daily bread and had to swap nutritional yeast for Parmesan. Super tasty! Saving the other half of the chickpeas and green spread for a grain bowl
Absolutely delicious. One serving was too much for me so I halved everything as best I could.
