Notes
*To cook chickpeas, first soak them for a couple of hours/overnight with a double amount of water. Once soaked, drain and cook for approximately 1h in a slow cook/1.5h over a stove with a pinch of baking soda and a tsp of salt.
**To bake a pumpkin/butternut squash, cut it into 1.5cm thick slices, lay on a baking tray, optionally add fresh rosemary on top. Bake in the overheated to 200 C (390 F) for approximately 30 mins until soft. Peel the skin once ready.
