CORONATION CHICKPEA WRAPS

A veggie twist on a retro classic and a great no-cook recipe. There is a gentle middle-of-the-road-ness that is undoubtedly part of its charm. Not too spicy, not to hot, not too sweet, not too sharp – everything in steady amounts. A gateway dish to world cuisine.

Cook’s notes

You could also stuff this into jacket or sweet potatoes, into sandwiches, or serve as part of a salad spread, perhaps mix in some crunchy lettuce or shredded cabbage too.
