2 tbsp of greek yogurt
3-4 very ripe, large vine tomatoes
1/2-1 red medium chili chopped (use as much as desired)
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, grated
A small bunch (roughly 10g) of fresh basil, roughly chopped

1 x 700g jar of Bold Bean Co Queen Chickpeas (or 2 x 400g tins), drained

To serve

Focaccia or crusty bread

Directions

Mix the goats cheese and greek yogurt together in a bowl; you’re looking for a whipped consistency. Set aside in the fridge.
To make the tomato paste, grate all the tomatoes in a bowl, then add the grated garlic, basil, balsamic, olive oil and a good pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper and mix well to combine.
Add the chickpeas to the tomatoes and stir to combine.
Spoon the whipped goats cheese onto a large serving platter. Tumble over the tomatoey chickpeas and finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil. Mop up with focaccia or crusty bread.
