@wadi if you want more spices, some things you can consider addimg while infusing oil:
- more rosemary
- more thyme
- oregano
- peel some garlic cloves (remove them before adding chickpeas)
- bay leaves
- red pepper flakes
- more salt
- add black pepper at end
You could, instead of a tablespoon of tomato paste, just add a can of some sort of canned tomato product (crushed tomato, tomato sauce, etc)
A squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar when you finish would probably be a good idea but I haven't tried it
