Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Tunisian
Ingredients: 2 tbs Olive Oil; 1 medium finely diced Onion; 250g Chickpeas; 1.5L Vegetable Stock; 1 tsp Cumin; 5 cloves Garlic; 1/2 tsp Salt; 1 tsp Harissa Spice; Pinch Pepper; 1/2 Lime

Hey there, folks! Today, I'm gonna show you how to whip up a mouthwatering bowl of Leblebi Soup. Now, let me tell you about the time I accidentally mistook cumin for cinnamon in this recipe - let's just say, it was an interesting flavor twist! One tip I have for you is to squeeze a bit of lime juice right before serving. It really brightens up the flavors and adds a zesty kick that you won't want to miss. Alright, let's get cooking! Heat up some olive oil in a big ol' pot, sauté your onions until they're nice and translucent. Toss in those chickpeas, pour in the veggie stock, and let it all simmer away. While that's cooking, toast up your cumin - just make sure it's cumin and not cinnamon! Once everything's cooked to perfection, sprinkle in some harissa spice, a dash of pepper, and that garlicky goodness. Serve it up hot and enjoy the hearty goodness of this Tunisian classic. Bon appétit!
