These chickpeas are braised in olive oil – confit, if you will – along with our Garlic Curry. The result is a rich, indulgent sauce that’s just begging for a side of warm flatbread. You can also load these chickpeas up on a thick slice of French bread. Don’t forget a big glug of the sauce and a sprinkling of feta cheese.
