1 medium | red bell pepper |
2 15 ounce can | no salt added chick peas (garbanzos) |
2 Tbsp | white onion (minced) |
2 cloves | garlic (minced) |
2 | ribs celery (diced) |
1 Tbsp | fresh mint (minced) |
1/4 tsp | dried tarragon |
1 Tbsp | extra virgin olive oil |
2 Tbsp | white wine vinegar |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 ounce | feta cheese (crumbled fine) |
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the red pepper in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes turning about every ten minutes. Remove from the oven and place in a paper bag. When the pepper is cooled the skin will easily slip off. Seed and dice the pepper. (Alternatively bottled roasted, peeled and seeded peppers work very well. Make sure the peppers are packed in water and not oil. Rinse under cold water before dicing.)
Rinse the chick peas under cold water.
Combined the cooled pepper with the rinsed chick peas, onion, garlic, celery, mint, tarragon, olive oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Toss well and then add the crumbled feta cheese. Toss again and chill well.
