How to Prepare Israeli Spiced Tomatoes With Pesto and Beans on Toast [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Mix the sumac, coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of black pepper, and the garlic in a little dish. Slice the tomatoes and lay out on a flat baking pan or plate. Rub the spice mixture all over them and let them sit while you prep the rest, and up to an hour.
  2. In another small bowl, toss together the chickpeas, vinegar, and minced herbs. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. To serve, toast the bread, warm the pesto, and then top the toast with pesto, tomato slices, and the chickpeas.

Notes

Sumac is a Middle Eastern spice made from ground red sumac berries. It has a tangy, lemony flavor. Look for sumac in the international aisle or spice aisle of your local grocery store.
