Chickpeas and briny, pomegranate harissa marinated olives are tossed together and roasted, allowing the flavours to mingle and soften. The harissa brings a gentle heat, while crumbled feta adds creamy saltiness, turning this simple side into something bold, savoury and quietly addictive. Great alongside some grilled fish or on its own with some rice and a dollop of yoghurt.
