This dish is soooo good. Thank you once again dear Isa. One of my favorite comfort foods (creamy mashed potato) all fancied up and tasting devine. My taste buds are very happy right now. And it is very simple and quick to prepare. This is definitely going on regular rotation in our house.
You can find the recipe here on the Post Punk Kitchen web site: Chickpea Picatta.
(As per Isa's spelling of Picatta).
I served this with lots of rocket (the recipe called for arugula which I had never heard of but a quick google revealed that it is rocket.) I made a half serve of Thermomix mashed potato - so creamy! That's 500gm of potatoes. I used Vitasoy Calciplus milk and plenty of Nutelex for the potato.
Dear husband was a bit dubious about the flavor of the capers diffusing through the whole dish so I left them out and then used them to garnish. This worked really well. I sprinkled a little of the brine from the capers over mine along with a drizzle of truffle oil. Heaven!
According to the recipe this should serve 4 but actually dear husband and I managed to polish it off for one meal. This amount would make a great entree for 4 people, but I can't see it stretching to 4 adult sized mains. I can't wait to make this next time we have an omnivore over for dinner.
I love this recipe but agree on the serving side. When I make it, it does me for two meals. I guess if I added another protein and more veg I could stretch it to four, but it's so yummy I just want to eat it by itself.
