This is one of those meals you can leave to simmer in the oven while you get on with other things (don't we all need more of these in our lives?). The black chickpeas absorb the warmth of baharat as they cook, with olives adding a briney saltiness and orange slices melting into the sauce. Serve with yoghurt swirled through (or a plant-based alternative to keep it vegan) alongside rice or flatbreads. It's just as delicious hot from the oven as at room temperature, and actually improves with a few days spent in the fridge.
