Method
- Tip the chickpeas and their water into a pan over a medium heat. Add the bay leaf and garlic, then simmer for 5 mins or until starting to soften. Drain, reserving the cooking juices and discarding the bay leaf and garlic.
- Tip the chickpeas and 250ml of the cooking juices (topping up with water if needed) into a bowl and stir through the cumin, tahini and lemon zest and juice. Mash to a rough paste, adding a splash more cooking water if needed to loosen – you want a thick, soup-like texture. Season to taste, adding more lemon juice if you like.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat; add the lemon slices. Dry-fry for 2-3 mins each side until starting to caramelise.
- Spoon the chickpea mixture into a bowl and top with the caramelised lemon, parsley, za’atar, pine nuts and pomegranate seeds and drizzle with the oil. Serve warm with the toasted pitta strips for dipping.
- Tip: Make up to 2 days in advance and warm on the hob over a gentle heat, adding a splash more water, if needed, to reach the desired consistency.
