Chickpeas with red pepper

Side Serves 4 20 min

This is a very quick dish to make, and comes mainly from the store cupboard. It will serve 4 as part of a mezze style meal or 2 as an accompaniment to grilled fish or pork steaks. To turn it into a vegetarian main, try tossing with quinoa, crumbled feta and slices of avocado.
