How to Make Fatit Hummus Chickpea Casserole

  1. Cook chickpeas (if using dried): Soak 1 cup dried chickpeas overnight. Drain and rinse. Combine with 4 cups water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 60-90 minutes, or until tender. (Skip this step if using canned chickpeas)
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Prepare the pita chips: Break 10 pita breads into small pieces.
  4. Soak pita chips: In a bowl, combine the pita chips with 1 cup of the chickpea cooking liquid (or broth from canned chickpeas). Let it sit for 10-15 minutes until softened.
  5. Make the yogurt sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin.
  6. Assemble the casserole: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the soaked pita chips. Top with 2 cups cooked chickpeas. Spread half of the yogurt sauce over the chickpeas. Repeat layers with remaining pita chips, chickpeas, and yogurt sauce.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
