Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 4 ripe vine tomatoes chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 400 g can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium sized courgettes zucchini, about 350g. spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon coriander freshly chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan and saute the onion and garlic for about 3 – 4 minutes until soft. Keep stirring so as not to burn.

  • Blitz the tomato pulp in a food processor or with a stick blender until you have a thick creamy tomato sauce.
  • Add the sauce back to the pan, re-heat it until it begins to bubble, then stir in the spiralized courgette and chickpeas.
  • Heat through until warm and serve garnished with the freshly chopped coriander.
