Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then roast them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 9 minutes.

Add the kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes and cucumber, cooking until just warmed through, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the za''atar, olive oil, sumac and lemon juice for 4 minutes.

Cook the orzo separately and drain.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 6 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the orzo, garnished with fresh herbs.
