Ingredients
tick what you already have - the rest goes on your shopping listHow to Make It
- 1
Soak the 500g of dried chickpeas overnight in 1.5 litres of cold water. Drain, cover with fresh water and simmer for 90 minutes until very soft, then keep them warm in 200ml of their cooking water.
- 2
Cut the 3 pita breads into bite-sized squares and either fry them in 20ml of oil or bake at 200°C until they are crispy and golden.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together 400g of yogurt, 100g of tahini, 3 minced garlic cloves, 30ml of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- 4
Arrange the crunchy pita bread at the bottom of a serving dish. Drain the chickpeas, reserving the 200ml of warm cooking water, and pour that water over the bread to soften it slightly.
- 5
Spoon the warm chickpeas over the bread, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- 6
Pour the yogurt-tahini mixture over the chickpeas, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
- 7
In a small pan, melt 50g of butter and sizzle the 30g of pine nuts until they turn light brown and fragrant.
- 8
Pour the hot butter and pine nuts over the yogurt layer, which will cause it to sizzle slightly, then serve immediately.
