A complex and colorful chickpea stew, this is rich with vegetables, olive oil and Parmesan cheese You can vary the vegetables to use what you’ve got Here, I keep to the basics, adding carrots for sweetness, fennel or celery for depth, cherry tomatoes for looks

Like any good chopped salad, the lettuce here is in equal balance with the other ingredients, making this a great choice for those who are less than enthusiastic about leafy greens Creamy feta and avocado mingle with briny olives and capers while cucumbers and finely chopped romaine provide crunch Use this recipe as a template for making the most of ingredients you have on hand; radishes, cherry tomatoes or diced onion would all be welcome here
