"Blistered tomatoes seared in olive oil create a saucy base for the dish, while roasted red peppers and kalamata olives build a briny combination that is a bursting with salty flavor. Chickpeas provide protein and a subtly nutty flavor profile, rounding out the skillet into something that works as both a main course or a side dish. To make this recipe, you'll need grape tomatoes, red onion, garlic, lemon, fresh parsley, and fresh basil."

Blistered tomatoes seared in olive oil form a saucy base that mingles with roasted red peppers and kalamata olives to create a briny, savory backbone. Canned chickpeas add protein and a subtly nutty flavor while fresh herbs—parsley and basil—and lemon brighten the skillet. Dried oregano, smoked paprika, and cumin provide warm Mediterranean seasoning. The dish cooks in one pan and relies on pantry staples like chickpeas, roasted peppers, and olives, making it quick to assemble. Serve with crusty bread and feta, or alongside grilled chicken or salmon; it works as a main course or side.
