Notes
- What to do with leftovers
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Sun dried tomatoes also work well in this recipe. They are a stronger flavor and will give off less liquid than the roasted tomatoes, so be prepared to use a little extra liquid from the chickpea can, or olive oil.
- If you don’t have canned chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), you can obviously cook the chickpeas from scratch if you have them dried.
