Ingredients

• Pita bread - 2 medium
• Plain yogurt - 250 grams
• Chickpeas (cooked) - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Pine nuts - 2 tablespoons, toasted

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Cut the pita bread into small triangles and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cooked chickpeas with minced garlic, cumin, lemon juice, tahini, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little water or extra lemon juice.
5. Once the pita is crispy, layer half of it at the bottom of two serving bowls. Top with half of the chickpea mixture, then add a layer of yogurt over the chickpeas.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining pita, chickpeas, and yogurt.
7. Drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts before serving.
