Chickpea Toast with Harissa Yogurt recipe
serves 2

Here’s my favorite recipe from my 5 Ingredient Meals: Simple Toasts class. Chickpeas are full of protein and fiber and are great for taking on the flavor of whatever you add to them. Harissa is a North African pepper paste that’s increasingly easier to find at almost any grocery store. It can be mild or hot, so start flavoring the yogurt to taste and go from there.

2 slices thick country bread, toasted
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
½ cup plain yogurt
¼ cup harissa paste (or to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Grapeseed oil, salt and pepper

  1. In a medium skillet, heat a drizzle of grapeseed oil.  Saute chickpeas with salt and pepper until warmed and slightly crispy.

  2. Combine yogurt and harissa paste and season with salt if desired.  Spread harissa yogurt on toast and top with chickpeas.  Smash chickpeas with a fork.  Drizzle more harissa yogurt on top.  Top with cilantro.
