Big love and thank you for the support,

Shawarma Mushrooms on Sesame Beans

⏱️ 50 minutes | 🍽️ Serves 3

Shawarma paste is a real hero ingredient that you should always have lurking in the cupboard! It pairs perfectly with these oyster mushrooms and topped on some creamy, savoury sesame chickpeas. This was so delicious, I can't wait to hear what you think!

My Top Tip

This is best served hot and with some nice fluffy pita, naan or sourdough! My favourite shawarma paste is the Waitrose own brand!
