Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the chickpeas and onion and stir-fry for 3 mins or until the onion softens. Add the cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, if using, and garlic and stir-fry for 5 mins or until the chickpeas are light golden. Transfer to a bowl.

    Add the zucchini, carrot and capsicum to the wok or pan and stir-fry for 3-4 mins or until the vegetables are tender. Return the chickpea mixture to the wok or pan with the spinach and stir-fry for 1 min or until the spinach just wilts. Season.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir in enough hot water until the mixture is runny enough to drizzle. Season.
