Roasting chickpeas is a great way to add texture and flavor to a dish. After a quick sauté or roast in the oven, they become addictive pops of crunch that bring textural contrast to all types of dishes, but they work especially well against the silky beet puree and yogurt.

Kosher salt
2 shallots, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Soak the chickpeas in cold water for at least 12 hours.

冲洗鹰嘴豆，将它们放在中等锅中用干净的水，然后煮沸。减少热量并覆盖的热量，直到它们变软，但仍然有一点咬合，大约45分钟。从火上取出，然后稍微冷却。

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the beets in an ovenproof dish. Season with salt. Cover and bake until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle but still warm, use your thumbs to peel the skins away. Cut the beets into large chunks.

In a large saucepan, combine the beets, shallots, garlic, and 1 Tbs. oil. Cook and stir over medium heat until the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup water, and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook, covered until the shallots and garlic are soft, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Transfer the beet mixture to a blender or a food processor. Add the lemon zest and juice, honey, 3 Tbs. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Blend or process until smooth.

In a medium skillet, toast the cooked chickpeas in 1 Tbs. oil over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the crushed cumin, and season to taste with salt.

Transfer the beet puree to a serving dish. Top with the toasted chickpeas and a generous dollop of yogurt. Garnish with the wood sorrel and drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Serve with bread.
