Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can make a coronation chickpea pocket for a party.
Key learning points
- The original recipe, Coronation chicken, was invented for a lunch during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
- The food skills used to make a coronation chickpea pocket are draining, measuring, cutting, mixing and filling.
- We can ask other people to evaluate a recipe by tasting it. This can help improve work next time.
Keywords
Coronation - the ceremony of crowning a queen or king
Draining - to remove water or other liquid
Chickpeas - edible yellow seeds from a plant
Common misconception
A recipe cannot be changed, as it will not work.
Recipes can be changed, for example swapping chicken for chickpeas, or adding extra spices. The new recipe should be tested to make sure it works and tastes good.
Teacher tip
Pupils can drain cans of chickpeas in small groups, using a sieve or colander in a bowl, helping to develop this food skill. Any type of bread can be used, depending on budget - for example, slices of wholemeal bread would work well.
Equipment
