  • Cooking time: 15 mins
  • Serves: 3 cups
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbs ground cumin
  • 400g cup mushrooms, chopped

Method
  1. Heat 2 tbs oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add the onion and cumin and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes until soft. Increase heat to high, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Set aside to cool to 10 minutes.

  3. Drain excess moisture from the mushrooms and add to the chickpea mixture with the chives and remaining yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper and stir gently to combine.
  4. Place a piece of wrap onto the surface, cover and refrigerate overnight if time permits. Sprinkle with extra chives & drizzle with olive oil to serve.
