HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

03

Add minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

04

Stir in the rinsed chickpeas and undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

05

Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.

06

Place the pita bread on a baking sheet. Spoon the chickpea and tomato mixture evenly over each pita.

07

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pita bread is lightly crispy and the topping is heated through.

08

Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished flatbreads can brighten the dish. You can also add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a dollop of plain yogurt before serving.

Easy Substitutions
