Author Notes

Easy weeknight dinner. I'm a fan of chickpeas cooked with seafood, to take on a seafood flavor that compliments their gentle texture. Simmering canned sardines and canned chickpeas in white wine allows the flavors to meld. This recipe eschews spices to allow the focus to rest on the combination of fragrant coconut oil, oily fish, and nutty walnut or olive oil. —Laura Stearns
