Ottolenghi recipe with chickpeas sweet potato, lemon garlic yoghurt sauce

Ottolenghi recipe chickpeas sweet potato lemon garlic yogurt

A little snack to keep you all going. ย The past week has been very frustrating whilst my blog was refusing to pitch up at it’s new host but we got there eventually.

So today I will share a little Ottolenghi recipe lunch with you that I made for my in-laws recently. ย The Ottolenghi recipe in “The Cookbook” prescribes using dried chickpeas but I wasn’t able to do that this time. I am sure it was tasty enough with canned even if dried ones would take it to another level.

    Best of luck, I know how time-consuming and frustrating it can be messing around in the back end of a blog. Salad looks amazing, I love chickpeas.

    Sorry to hear about all the frustrations with your blog. I've totally been there and can relate. Still, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
    This dish looks amazing. Just need a bit of crusty bread to go with it (what can I say, I always want bread) Simply lovely.

    I'm so glad you're back, luv! ๐Ÿ™‚ This is beeyootiful!! ๐Ÿ™‚ I just shook my head and chuckled my way through your blog trials. Pretty sure we're living mirror lives at the moment. ๐Ÿ™‚ "Start where you are" is my mantra at the moment – and it's keeping me from getting discouraged. ๐Ÿ™‚ I had a breakthrough moment last night figuring out how to add the Facebook and Twitter buttons. Can't wait for the unveiling of all your hard work! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Sarah glad to see you up and running again. Can't wait to see the new site. This dish looks really tasty. I just bought the book myself and have a dinner party this weekend so plan on getting stuck in! Thanks to all your fab posts from it, the book became a must have. I also got that Rachel Allen one. So I have to thank you for my ever decreasing bank balance LOL!

    Love all the colours together in this. I am trying to eat more healthily and been on a juice detox so this could be a way of easing myself back in to chewing.

    I must talk to you in more detail about your move to wordpress. I'm considering it but it sounds like a bit of a nightmare! Still, be worth it in the end.
