Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place potatoes, cut-side-down, on a foil lined baking sheet.

Toss chick peas with olive oil and spices and add to the same baking sheet.

Bake for approx 30 minutes - until potatoes are tender. If chick peas start to get too dark loosely place foil over them.

Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Combine topping ingredients in another bowl.

Plate the dish by mashing down the potato insides slightly. Top with sauce, chickpeas and tomato/parsley.
