Method

Chayote puree

Cut chayotes into small pieces, add them to an oiled pan. Add oregano, salt, and cook at medium heat until they soften (approx. 10 min). Then blend all together using a stick mixer or a blender.

Buckwheat porridge

Cook the buckwheat groats in salted water according to instructions. You can soak them overnight to ease your digestion.

Meanwhile, cut mushrooms into thin slices, blanch them, and strain. Put some oil in the frying pan, add mushrooms and saute them at higher heat until they develop a pleasant smell and get a crispy brown crust.

Crispy chickpeas

Inspired by Login5 Aphrodite’s recipe. ;)

Strain (save liquid for preparation of chocolate mousse!) and wash the canned chickpeas. Add the ingredients to a bowl and mix them well. Place chickpeas on a baking tray with parchment paper and bake at 170°C for about one hour until they are crispy. Toss them a few times while baking, taste, and see if they are ready.

SERVE ALL COMPONENTS TOGETHER AND ENJOY.
