Sesame Broccoli with Chickpeas
Using both sesame oil and sesame seeds, this dish is full of a nutty, delicate flavour. Sesame seeds are a brilliant source of copper and manganese which facilitate a number of nutritional benefits. Combining the broccoli and chickpea packs in the protein, a great vegan and vegetarian option.
Alternatively, serve in a wholemeal wrap - adding bell peppers, spinach, parmesan and squeeze of lime for a delicious burrito!
