Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Start by dicing the onions, chopping the garlic and slicing the roasted peppers. Drain the chickpeas and the olives. Set both aside until later.
Step 2
Set a large, oven-proof frying pan or casserole dish over a medium-low heat and add half of the oil. Once hot, add the onions along with a large pinch of salt and sweat for 5-8 minutes, until softened. Stir in half of the chopped garlic and the smoked paprika and cook for a few minutes, until fragrant and the onions are well coated.
Step 3
Pour in the cherry tomatoes, squish the drained green olives using your fingers and pop these in, along with the drained chickpeas and the sliced red peppers. Season generously with salt, black pepper and a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Use a wooden spoon to break up the cherry tomatoes a little. Add a splash of water (you can use the cherry tomato tin filled 1/3rd of the way) and bring to a simmer while you make the smokey garlic crumb.
Step 4
To make the smokey crumb, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining garlic, the lemon zest, the remaining olive oil and season well. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle over the breadcrumbs. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden. Serve the pan in the middle of the table for all to enjoy with a wedge of lemon if you wish.
