Ingredients
- One 14-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 5 oil-packed sundried tomatoes, chopped, plus 1/4 cup oil from the marinated tomatoes
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 long ciabatta (about a 1-pound loaf)
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, optional
Instructions
- Parmigiano-Reggiano or ricotta salata, optional
- Heat a grill, grill pan or your tostapane over medium heat (see Cook's Note).
- Place the chickpeas in a bowl and lightly mash with the back of a spoon. Stir in the sundried tomatoes and their oil, lemon zest and juice, parsley, and olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice your ciabatta into 3/4- to 1-inch slices. Toast to lightly char on both sides.
- Rub the bread with a clove of garlic, if using, and spoon some chickpea mixture on top. Drizzle with olive oil. If you like, shave some Parmigiano-Reggiano or ricotta salata over the top.
- NotesA tostapane is a stainless steel stovetop toaster used in Italy. You can purchase them at Italian specialty stores or online. If you don't have one, a grill pan or even a gas grill will work perfectly.
