1. Soak the chickpeas in cold water overnight. Next morning, rinse, place them in water in a saucepan and bring to the boil.

When cooled, drain and put the chickpeas in a large bowl, picking out as many of the loose skins as you can. 3. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and fry the red onion gently, until lightly golden. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for a few more minutes. Take care not to brown the garlic. Leave to cool. 4. Add the feta, spring onion, coriander, parsley and lemon juice to the chickpeas, and season with pepper and a dash of salt. 5. Add the cooled garlic oil and remaining olive oil and mix well.
