Instructions

1.Prepare the marinade, preferably a few hours prior to serving.
2.Begin by finely chopping the coriander roots.
3.Using a mortar and pestle, crush them along with the black pepper and coriander seeds.
4.Combine with the other ingredients for the marinade in a food processor and mix until smooth.
5.Clean and prepare the mushrooms before cutting them into quarters.
6.Heat some oil in a frying pan on a high heat until it begins to smoke.
7.Add the mushrooms and fry on a high heat until they begin to colour, for about 5 minutes.
8.Remove the frying pan from the heat, add the marinade and stir a few times to ensure that all the mushrooms are covered.
9.Pour the mixture into a bowl, wrap in plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for a few hours.
10.Make the dukkah. Put a dry frying pan on a medium heat and add the nuts and coriander seeds.
11.Toast for about 5 minutes until they colour. Stir occasionally to ensure they do not burn.
12.Place in a food processor and add the cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano and salt.
13.Run a few blitzes or pulses – it should be in small chunks but not too finely chopped. Finish by adding the lime zest.
14.Using a food processor or hand-held blender, mix all the ingredients for the pea hummus until smooth.
15.If you prefer a slightly coarser hummus, you can add the peas last and then mix using just a few pulses.
16.Fill half of each bowl with hummus and fill the remaining half with mushrooms.
17.Top with chilli, kale sprouts, coriander and the dukkah.
