METHOD
STEP 1
Cheesy nacho sauce:
Blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth, creamy and no lumps remain. To serve, simply heat up in a small saucepan.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. When re-using, simply thin out the sauce with a little plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency.
STEP 2
Chilli chickpeas:
Prepare the chickpeas by frying the chickpeas, tomato purée (paste), hot sauce, maple syrup or coconut nectar and spices over a medium-high heat. Lightly press down on the chickpeas with a fork to break some of them up. (Leave a few whole.) Remove from the heat after a few minutes, season to taste, cover with a lid and set aside.
Heat the cheesy nacho sauce in a small saucepan.
