Chickpea, Feta and Herb Salad

This is quite a delicious mix of ingredients....and you can't go wrong with lovely fresh herbs and good quality feta.

400 g of tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 tbs olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped or crushed
1 red chilli, chopped
250 g of crumbled feta
4 shallots, green part only
1/2 cup of chopped coriander
1/2 cup of chopped parsley
juice of half a lemon

Using a frypan, gently heat the olive oil and red onions until they are cooked through and lightly golden. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for only a few more minutes. Do not brown the garlic.
Allow the oil mixture to cool.

Combine the chickpeas, feta, shallots, coriander, parsley and lemon. Add the cooled oil mixture and mix well. Serve at room temperature with marinated lamb or chicken.
