Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then simmer them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 6 minutes.

Add the zucchini, beetroot and pumpkin, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the native thyme, golden syrup and lemon myrtle for 3 minutes.

Cook the jasmine rice separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 9 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the jasmine rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
