- Soak dry chickpeas at least 4 hrs. Place the soaked, uncooked garbanzos in a large pot and cover with water by at least 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then partially cover and simmer for about 1-1/2 hrs, or possibly till the chickpeas are very soft. (If using canned, rinse and drain them and set aside.) Peel, seed and chop the ripe tomatoes and set aside (in the refrigerator).
- Dry pan roast the cumin seeds for a few min, maximum. Heat a fragrant extra virgin olive oil in a soup pot or possibly Dutch oven oven. Add in onion, half the garlic, half the salt (to sweat the vegetables), and the carrot, saffron, cumin seeds, and mustard. Saute/fry over medium heat for about 10 min, or possibly till the carrot begins to soften.
- Add in cooked chickpeas, and 4 c. of liquid: vegetable broth, and/or possibly water plus some of the liquid from cooking the beans, or possibly just water.) Bring it to a boil, lower the heat, and cook, covered for about 20 min.
- Add in the remaining garlic and salt, along with the lemon juice, black pepper, and cayenne (to taste). Add in the tahini if you like. Puree some or possibly all of the soup in a blender or possibly processor till fairly smooth. Thin with water if necessary. Taste to adjust seasoning, especially the salt.
- Serve warm, with a spoonful of diced tomato, a small amount of minced cilantro and possibly a drop or possibly two of Chinese sesame oil.
- * Serves 6 to 8. Soups stores well in refrigerator or possibly freezer if packed air tight. See menu called "Sunset Dinner" for serving ideas.
