This is not quite a stir-fry, though I do cook it in my wok. The chickpeas get soused with the sherry and infused with cumin, and the rocket, or rather the tangle of green things that come in the packet called "roquette salad" at my supermarket, wilt leggily in the pan.

  • cream sherry ? I reckon some sherry and some cream will suffice as a replacement ?

  • I came across this one buying the "Express"-book as a gift. Having watered chickpeas to empty the kitchencupboard and rocket waiting in the frigde, this was simply perfect! Quick and easy, and mouthwatering with a boiled egg on top. Thank you!
