Feedback can be ...alarming? Unwelcome? But in Simon's case, it was feedback from a parent at his kids' school that reminded him of just how good a crispy chickpea can be!

So what else to do with the idea?

A coeliac-friendly, vegan delight, this is CLASSIC Food Fix: Simple, quick to prepare and within reach for the average home cook, but with STUNNING results.

METHOD

Drain and rinse 1 tin of chick peas, dry them well, then crush them with a rolling pin or another tin.

In a large frying pan, heat 4tbs of olive oil.

When hot, add the chick peas and spread them out.

Give them time to crisp up, stirring occasionally.

When you're pretty sure they're ready and crispy, add two finely sliced garlic cloves and fry for another 30 seconds.

Take off the heat and add the zest of 1 lemon, a handful of finely chopped parsley, and season well with salt and pepper!

Serve on top of pasta, salads, a tomato carpaccio, a tuna rice bowl or on top of a bowl of roasted vegetables.

Store in an airtight container!
