Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas are summer on a plate. This herby, lemony dish is served over yogurt or whipped cottage cheese for a fabulous light lunch or starter. It’s especially good on hot August days when cherry tomatoes are at their peak, and nothing else seems especially tempting. Finish it with an optional drizzle of balsamic glaze, to take it over the top.
