1 Dressing: Select Sauté and sauté the
garlic and chilli in 25ml olive oil until you
can smell the garlic. Remove from the
cooking pot. Add 100 ml olive oil, 60ml
lemon juice and a good pinch of salt and
pepper to the garlic and chilli.
2 Rinse the chickpeas and place in the
pressure cooker, cover ingredients with
cold water. Select High Pressure and set
the timer for 20 minutes. When audible
beep sounds, use Quick Pressure
Release to release pressure. When the
float valve drops, turn the pressure cooker
off. Remove the lid carefully, tilting away
from you to allow steam to disperse. Drain
the chickpeas and whilst still hot toss into
the dressing. Set aside to cool.

onion, red pepper, beans, coriander, and
parsley. Season with salt and pepper and
a dash more lemon juice if needed.
To serve place on an attractive platter,
sprinkle with feta, parsley and coriander.
