3. Season the mash with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
4. Crispy chickpeas: rinse the chickpeas and pat dry with a clean cloth. Mix well with the oil, then with the spices.
5. Spread the chickpeas on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated fan oven at 170°C for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crisp. (23 min)
6. Fry the onions and carrots in butter over low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until the onion is soft, sweet and starting to caramelise slightly. (18 min)
7. Add the soy sauce, cream, smoked paprika and a little sriracha to the onions. Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, season with freshly ground pepper.
8. Serve the mashed potato on plates, topped with the onions, crispy chickpeas, pickled beetroot and fresh herbs.
