This dish is much like ratatouille in appearance, but using chickpeas and an original spice combination. The flavors are complex and the preparation minimal!

Chef's Notes:
Use regular diced tomatoes, or Italian flavored or fire-roasted for a twist.
Try making burritos with leftovers. Spoon the mixture onto whole-grain tortillas, roll up and place in a baking dish, then bake until golden.
This makes a large batch, but portions can be refrigerated or frozen.
