Ingredients

120 g rocket
2 celery stalks
1 Lebanese cucumer
2 tsp ground cumin

2 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs tahini

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add chickpeas, stirring to coat. Cook for 8 minutes, tossing often, or until golden and toasted. Add garlic and spices and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to a tray to cool and reserve oil.
