Instructions

Step 1

Mix the sumac, coriander, cumin, chile flakes, 1 tsp salt, and the garlic in a little bowl. Lay out the tomatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle the spices all over them. Let them sit for up to 1 hour while you fix the rest of the dish.

Step 2

Stir together the yogurt, cucumber, and mixed fresh herbs. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Let the sauce sit for at least 15 minute and up to 1 hour, if you can, then taste and adjust the seasoning so the sauce is nicely savory

Step 3

Toss the chickpeas, onion, vinegar, and parsley leaves. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and adjust the seasoning. Add a glug of olive oil and toss again.

Step 4

Arrange a layer of the marinated tomatoes on a platter, and pour any accumulated juices over the tomatoes. Drizzle or dollup the yogurt sauce onto the tomatoes and tumple the chickpea salad on top. Serve with grilled or warmed flatbread.
