Method
Warm the chickpeas in a saucepan with a splash of water until heated through.
Tear the pitta bread into pieces and fry in the vegetable oil until golden and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden, stirring constantly.
Whisk the yoghurt with the crushed garlic, tahini, lemon juice and fine sea salt to make the sauce.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan and stir in the ground cumin.
Layer the crisp pitta in a serving dish, top with the warm chickpeas, then spoon over the garlic yoghurt sauce.
Drizzle with the cumin butter and scatter with the toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley to serve.
