  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 540 ml chickpeas I used canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes sliced

  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste

  • 14 g basil julienned

Optional

  • 4 pieces naan

Instructions

  • Start by sautéing your onion in the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until translucent, which is usually about 3-4 minutes. Add your garlic, oregano and chili flakes and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add your chickpeas, sundried tomato, coconut milk, tomato paste, salt and pepper to the pan, and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Once it's simmering, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
