INGREDIENTS

150g assorted mushrooms

1 clove garlic, sliced thin

1/4 TSP red pepper flakes

1 TSP fresh sage

4 pieces sturdy sourdough bread

1/2 cup hummus

Himalayan salt and pepper

In a medium pan, add the olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add all chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown. Don’t stir them too much. You want them to get some colour. They should cook for 5-6 minutes

Once mushrooms are almost done (wilted, browned in parts, and tender) then add garlic, sage, and red pepper flakes along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together and cook for 30 seconds. Then turn heat down to low and keep warm

Toast the sourdough bread. Smear each toast with about two tablespoons of hummus

Top toast with mushrooms and serve while warm

2 ripe avocado mashed

Himalayan salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 TSP mixed spices

1/2 TSP turmeric spice

3 TSP lemon juice

chopped parsley

Heat a frying pan with a bit of oil, then add slices of the sourdough bread and toast for a minute or two on both sides until you reach the a golden colour

Scoop avocado and mash it, add salt, pepper, seasoning and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Mix it well and set aside. You may also add garlic if you wish for more garlic taste

Heat a frying pan and add oil or butter. Drain chickpeas (reserve chickpeas water). Now add chickpeas to the pan and add seasonings and lemon juice. Allow it to cook for about 3-5 minutes, mixing it frequently until you reach your desired taste of crunchiness.
