Directions

Mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, garlic, chili flakes, salt & freshly ground black pepper Put chickpeas into a baking dish, add olive oil mixture & stir until the chickpeas are well coated with oil, then put in the oven & roast for 20 minutes. While chickpeas are roasting, wash mint leaves & roughly chop. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan. Add almonds & shallow fry for about 5 minutes on a low heat, or until lightly browned Spoon roasted chickpeas into a serving dish. Mix 3 tablespoon of olive oil & the apple cider together & then mix through the chickpeas Let chickpeas cool 5 minutes, & then stir in crumbled feta, lemon rind & chopped mint Season with more salt & fresh ground black pepper if desired. Serve warm or cold, with lemon wedges to squeeze over the finished dish.

The fruits and vegetables are great, local, natural and without unnecessary plastics. The service as a whole is great and made with passion, as you can really tell from the eyes of James who made the delivery!
