Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then roast them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 8 minutes.

Add the cucumber, red onion and tomatoes, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir in the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and tzatziki for a final minute.

Cook the rice pilaf separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 19 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the rice pilaf, garnished with fresh herbs.
