Drain the sun-dried tomatoes reserving 1 tablespoon of the oil. Roughly chop the tomatoes and set aside.

Heat the tomato oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the oil and fry for 5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, paprika and chilli flakes and chickpeas to the pan. Fry for another 2 minutes.

Pour in the stock and double cream. Allow to gently simmer and reduce for 10 minutes until the sauce is thick and the chickpeas are tender.
