Ingredients

• 2 cups chickpeas (cooked)
• ¼ cup tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pita bread (cut into squares and toasted)
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts (toasted with olive oil in a pan until golden)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1½ teaspoons sumac (to garnish, optional)

Method

1. Soak the chickpeas in water at room temperature for 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge.
2. Rinse the chickpeas well several times under running water.
3. Place them in a large pot, and cover with double their size of cold water.
4. Bring to boil then lower the heat to medium and simmer until tender. Add cumin.
5. To make the hummus, blitz all of the hummus ingredients together until you get a smooth dip. Have a taste and decide if it needs more salt, lemon or garlic. If the consistency is too thick, add a dash of chickpea water and mix.
6. Mix the yogurt with tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. If it gets thick, add some chickpea water/broth.
7. Spread the bread in a layer in a bowl. Add some chickpea water to soften the bread.
8. Spread a layer of hummus, followed by the yogurt. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.
