One pan black chickpeas with baharat and orange

Main Easy
Serves 4
Prep 5 min
Cook 90 min

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.

Ingredients

1 jar Bold Bean black chickpeas, drained but bean stock reserved (400g)
250g cherry tomatoes
12 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed with the flat side of a knife
½ orange (halved lengthways); halved lengthways again and thinly sliced (100g)
50g green olives (we like Nocellara)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp baharat
¼ tsp turmeric
120ml olive oil
5g tarragon leaves
greek yoghurt, to serve
salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160c.
  2. Add everything, except for the tarragon and yoghurt, to a 26cm round saute pan, along with 1 teaspoon of salt and 100ml of the bean stock. Gently mix to combine, cover, and place in the oven for 1 ½ hours, stirring half way through. Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Stir in the tarragon just before serving. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt alongside.
