  1. Finely chop the red onion and the garlic.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 ℉ (180 ℃) with convection (fan).
  3. In a cast iron skillet or a pan that can go into the oven, add the olive oil and fry the onions until they are soft.

  5. Add the chickpeas, mix well and turn off the stove.
  6. Cut the feta cheese into 2 or 3 blocks and carefully place them on the sauce.
  7. Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is soft. Done!

Notes

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet or a pan that can go into the oven, don't worry! Just keep the stove on and put a lid on the pan after you place the feta cheese. 
  • For a full Mediterranean experience, serve with a warm Pita bread on the side.
