Method
- 1 Soak chickpeas for 12 hours, then simmer for 35 minutes until the beans are soft but still retain their round shape.
- 2 Beat tahini with lime juice, yogurt, and crushed garlic until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- 3 The white tahini sauce coating the surface is what distinguishes it from the version that only contains olive oil and cumin.
- 4 Gradually add cold water to the sauce until it forms a smooth, flowing stream.
- 5 Scoop the hot beans into a deep dish along with a little of the broth, then pour tahini sauce over them until completely covered.
- 6 Sprinkle with roasted pine nuts, sumac, and parsley, then drizzle with olive oil and serve while the beans are still warm.
