Drain the chickpeas in a colander and rinse well with cold water. Mix the chickpeas, diced shallots, sun-dried tomatoes and parsley in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic and sambal oelek as well as salt and pepper. Rub the entire zest of the well washed lemon into the marinade. Then halve the lemon, squeeze it and add to the marinade. Mix this well with the chickpea mixture and let it steep for at least 30 minutes. Possibly add seasoning.
The salad tastes excellent on its own, with bread, or with grilled fish or meat.
