This endlessly versatile side dish pairs beautifully with any grilled meat or fish and can also be a wonderful plant-based main dish. You can serve it over rice or pasta to round it out, or pair it with whole grains or whole-wheat pasta to reinforce the nuttiness. You can also turn it into a terrific salad by serving it over baby spinach, escarole or arugula. Leftovers can be blended into a chunky dip that is great with pita wedges or crostini. Or make leftovers into a soup by reheating with an equal volume of vegetable or chicken broth.

Ingredients

2 15-ounce cans no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup grape or small cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Zest of 1 lemon, cut in 1-inch-wide strips with a vegetable peeler
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon chopped Calabrian chiles
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Mix chickpeas, tomatoes, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, chiles, salt and pepper in a large oven-safe pot. Pour oil over the mixture; put the lid on or cover tightly with foil. Bake until the chickpeas are tender and creamy but not mushy, about 1 hour.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
