- Large Pot
- Frying Pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 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

- 1½ teaspoons sumac to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Soak the chickpeas in water at room temperature for 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge.
- Rinse the chickpeas well several times under running water.
- Place them in a large pot, and cover with double their size of cold water.
- Bring to boil then lower the heat to medium and simmer until tender. Add cumin.
- 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.
- Mix the yogurt with tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. If it gets thick, add some chickpea water/broth.
- Spread the bread in a layer in a bowl. Add some chickpea water to soften the bread.
- Spread a layer of hummus, followed by the yogurt. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.
