2. Add the peppers and cook for another minute. Stir in the tomatoes and chickpeas, and season well.
3. Allow to cook until the tomatoes are soft, and have broken down to form a sauce. Add a little water it the mixture looks dry. Season to taste.
4. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and place them on an oiled baking tray, fill with the tomato, pepper and chickpea mixture.

For the Gremolata

2. Add the lemon zest and juice, the olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Mix well and add more salt if needed.
3. Serve the mushrooms hot, topped with the gremolata.
