Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, and add the diced white onion. Sauté on low heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have begun to turn golden brown.
    2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 white onion
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring into the onions.
    2 garlic cloves
  3. Add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, and harissa paste. Stir them into the onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pastes turn fragrant.
    2 tablespoon harissa paste, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  4. Add the red wine vinegar to deglaze the pan, using your wooden spoon to scrape up any bits that have stuck to the bottom (flavor!).
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, water, and chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. 
    400 g tinned chopped tomatoes, 580 g jarred chickpeas, 150 ml water, Salt and pepper to taste
  6. Meanwhile, make the feta yoghurt sauce. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and feta to a bowl. Stir to combine and taste, then adjust any ingredients if needed.
    4 tablespoon Greek yoghurt, 1 garlic clove, ½ lemon, 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, 30 g feta
  7. Serve the harissa chickpeas in a bowl topped with the feta yoghurt, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, more chopped fresh parsley, crumbled feta, and lemon juice.
