Garlic Mushrooms & Chickpeas on Avocado Toast

Easy vegan breakfast idea perfect for brunch or lunch, with garlic mushrooms, crispy chickpeas on avocado toast. Ready in 10 minutes, this simple breakfast recipe is great for a lazy Sunday morning or a work-from-home lunch. If you’re stuck for brunch ideas this recipe will become a regular weekend brunch.

What’s in the recipe?

Chickpeas-  I’ve used tinned chickpeas as they take minutes to fry in a pan. If you don’t have chickpeas swap them for butter beans instead.

Mushrooms– I prefer using chestnut mushrooms however any mushroom will work for this recipe whether you’re using chanterelle, oyster, cup or shiitake.

Garlic- Such an important ingredient for this recipe, but if you don’t have garlic powder use 1 large minced garlic clove instead.

Additional toppings:

Harissa- I have a homemade harissa recipe just here which works so well with the garlic and mushrooms. It’s a very mild spiced dressing made with cumin, paprika, red peppers and oil. 

Chilli Oil-It also works really well with a chilli crisp oil. I highly recommend the Pippy Eats chilli crisp oil.

Chilli flakes– If you want a little bit of spice add chilli flakes on top.

Watercress- Using a peppery salad leaf will really compliment the creamy avocado and crunch bread.

15 Minute Recipe

This vegan chana masala is absolutely delicious, really easy and can be on your table in less than 30 minutes from prep to plating up. The recipe is made up of mainly tinned produce, this can be whipped together on a week night with minimal fresh ingredients. Using key ingredients of tomatoes, chickpeas, garlic and garam masala it’s a delicious hearty bowl full.

Ingredients Breakdown

Chickpeas- The main bulk of the recipe is using chickpeas. You can either use tinned or dried,  but remember if you’re using dried chickpeas you will need to boil for a few hours to soften and cook.

Tomatoes- Traditionally using fresh tomatoes, this can be easily adapted if you have a few punnets. Use around 650-800g fresh tomatoes and make sure they’ve broken down whilst cooking to avoid any large chunks.

Coconut Milk- This is not a typical ingredient for a traditional chana masala however I’ve added due to my boyfriend preferring a creamier curry base. However this is just as delicious without this ingredient, simply add an extra 300-400ml of water to help reduce the concentration of tomatoes.

Garam Masala- This is a blend of spices that is typically used within a chana masala. It consists of cardamom pods, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, pepper and cinnamon.
