Herby Tomatos & Chickpeas with Flatbread

A fresh Mediterranean-style dish to share with friends and family.

INGREDIENTS:

• Herbes de Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil* (for drizzling)
• Garlic Pepper
• Aceto Balsamico Maletti (for drizzling)
• 2 lbs heirloom or other large tomatoes, cored, cut into 1½" thick wedges
• 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed, and patted dry
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 lb feta, cut into ½" thick slabs
• 1 large handful arugula
• ½ cup torn, pitted green olives
• Flatbread or Pita for Serving

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place racks in middle and top positions of oven; preheat to 425°. Arrange 2 lb. heirloom or other large tomatoes, cored, cut into 1½"-thick wedges, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper; toss to coat. Roast on middle rack until collapsed and slightly jammy, 25–30 minutes. Remove from oven and heat broiler.
2. Meanwhile, combine two 15.5-oz. cans chickpeas, rinsed, patted dry, 1 tsp. ground cumin, ½ tsp. smoked paprika, and 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle lightly with oil and toss to coat.
3. Spoon chickpea mixture over and around tomatoes. Break 1 lb. feta, cut into ½"-thick slabs, into large pieces and tuck around. Broil on top rack until tomatoes and feta are blistered, 8–10 minutes. Let tomato chickpea mixture cool for 5 minutes.
4. Scatter 1 large handful arugula and ½ cup torn, pitted green olives over tomato chickpea mixture. Drizzle some Aceto Balsamico Maletti and more olive oil over. Season with pepper and serve with pita.
