SMASHED ZUCCHINI WITH CHICKPEAS AND PEANUTS
The contrasting flavors and textures in this dish might make you wonder - in a good way - "What is going on here?" First, raw zucchini is treated like cucumber, smashed and left to intensify with salt and lime juice. Next, it's showered with toasted chickpeas and peanuts, which are zingy from lime zest and citrusy spices like sumac or coriander. Offsetting the sweet crunch of zucchini and the fatty, crispy topping are thick rounds of jalapeño. Eat this quick mix with whole grains, tortillas or pita, yogurt, Cotija or another crumbly cheese, salad greens or soft-boiled eggs.

Steps:
- Trim the zucchini ends and slice lengthwise into quarters. Position cut sides down, then smash with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a colander set in the sink, then toss with the sliced jalapeño, lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Let drain while you cook the chickpeas.
- Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the lime zest, sumac and a sprinkle of salt. Stir until fragrant, then taste and add more salt as needed.
- Shake the zucchini to get rid of any excess liquid, then transfer to a platter or plates. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then top with the chickpeas. Get a spoonful of everything and taste. Add salt and a squeeze of lime until flavors are bright and zingy. Serve warm or at room temperature (although the chickpeas will become less crispy as they sit with the wet ingredients).
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your dish the best flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use one that you like the taste of.
- Add some herbs: Herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme will add a lot of flavor to this dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can roast evenly.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made.
Conclusion:
This chickpeas, olives, and tomatoes on toast recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. The roasted tomatoes are sweet and flavorful, the chickpeas are creamy and satisfying, and the olives add a salty and briny flavor. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish.
