Method

1. Pour the chickpeas and the juices from the can into a saucepan. Bring to the boil for 2-3 mins, or till fully warmed through. Drain the chickpeas but save the cooking liquid.

2. Whiz the chickpeas with the olive oil in a food processor, with a stick blender or crush with a potato masher, adding enough of the reserved cooking liquid to help render them into a creamy mash – you can go as thin or keep it as thick as you like (I like it slightly thicker vs a puree).

3. Blend in the miso or stock cube, adding it little by little, to help season the mash. Add a good pinch of freshly ground pepper, too.

4. Wash and finely chop the wild garlic. Fold the leaves through, adding them little by little, and tasting as you go – make it as garlicky or as mild as you like. Finish with a grating of lemon zest and a squeeze or two of juice, mixing it in well. Warm through before serving.
