• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook Nan’s special seasoning, chickpeas and half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, vegetable stock powder, the brown sugar, water and half the butter, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 4-5 minutes.

• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, place the remaining butter and remaining garlic. Microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with salt.
• Brush garlic butter over the cut sides of sliced sourdough.
