Chickpeas & Sesame Miso (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 shallots
02 - 500 g chickpeas
03 - 2 tbsp sesame oil
04 - 2 tbsp shoyu-style soy sauce
05 - 1 tbsp barley miso
06 - 2 tbsp water

# Instructions:

01 - If you're using canned or jarred chickpeas, rinse them well under running water. For homemade chickpeas, make sure they're fully cooked and tender.
02 - Peel the shallots, then dice them into fine pieces.
03 - Grab a bowl and combine the miso, sesame oil, soy sauce, and warm water. Gently press the miso against the side of the bowl to mix it in properly.
04 - Put the chickpeas into an oven-safe dish. Scatter the chopped shallots over the top and pour the sauce all over, stirring to coat everything evenly.
05 - Pop the dish into the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes. Bake until the chickpeas are golden, and the sauce has thickened a bit.
06 - If needed, add a splash of warm water to the pan to scrape up any stuck-on sauce. Serve with sesame seeds as garnish, plus veggies and a side like rice, couscous, or bulgur.

# Notes:

01 - Miso can be tricky to mix, so gently press it into the bowl to help it dissolve more easily.
