Chickpeas have the same comforting power as yellow peas in this popular pea soup. However, this preparation is made much simpler thanks to canned legumes, which soak up the flavours of the curry powder, ground coriander and Jamaican pepper. Add Brussels sprouts leaves and roasted chickpeas as a topping, along with garlic chips. A drizzle of maple syrup intensifies the soup’s flavour.

Plump strips of chicken are first dipped into a mixture of yogurt, eggs and harissa, before getting coated with breadcrumbs. We’ve chosen a thick, high-fat yogurt so it can more thoroughly coat the chicken.The result is super crispy chicken fingers that we’re serving up with a spiced harissa yogurt.
