Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.
• Spread the chickpeas out on a clean kitchen towel, using paper towels, blot the chick peas dry, quickly removing any skins that separate from the beans.
• Add the chickpeas to a large baking sheet sprinkle with the spices and salt and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Roast the chickpeas for 45 minutes to an hour, shaking the pan every 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Combine all the components of the tahini-yogurt sauce, mix well and refrigerate while finishing the rest of the dish.
• In a medium saucepan combine the lentils, 4 c. water and 1/2 t. salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape, about 25-30 minutes. Drain the lentils in a fine-mesh strainer, transfer to a large bowl.
• While the lentils simmer, prepare the dressing: Whisk together the 6 T. extra- virgin olive oil, 1/4 c. lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 t. ground cumin, 1/2 t. salt, 1/8 t. cayenne, mint and half of the parsley. Reserve 3 T. of the dressing for the grilled vegetables.
• Add the remaining dressing to the still-hot, cooked lentils. Toss to coat. Set the lentil salad aside at room temperature until serving time.
• Coat the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Grill until tender and slightly charred.
• Chop the veggies into bite-sized pieces and toss with the 3 T. reserved dressing.
• Just before serving, add the remaining 1/4 c. parsley to the lentil salad. Serve the grilled veggies with the lentil salad, top each with some of the tahini-yogurt sauce and garnish with the grape tomatoes and roasted chickpeas.
