Fungus feed and chickpeas

The spanish medieval masons built their cathedrals on a diet of chickpeas and bread and the cost of the honoured chickpea has'nt risen much over the centuries.
A great cupboard staple either tinned or soaked, I think if there was any, the chickpea would be 'bean of the gods' for its all round versatility.
Anyway, chickpeas and 'shrooms make a good,quick and cheap vegan meal. A can of chickpeas comes in around 38p and many asian shops sell crates of 12 for around £3.

Here's how its done:

1. Chop up your 'shrooms or leave whole depending on what you've foraged or bought.

2.Fry off a small onion, and some garlic in oil and add your fungi.

3.Once sweated off, add cooked chickpeas , seasoning and whatever herbs you can get your hands on. I like a combo of fresh chopped chilli, mint and parsley, but this time we just went with basil and pepper.

4.Once thoroughly warmed through, dress with oil and serve with crusty bread.

all you need is a glass of spanish or homemade wine to wash it down and you'll be fit to lay some stone and mortar!
