    How to Make Crispy Chickpeas and Lamb with Greens and Garlicky Yogurt

    1. Prepare Garlicky Yogurt Sauce

    Combine the Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

    2. Prepare Greens

    Rinse and trim the greens, removing any tough stems. Chop the stems and tear the leaves into pieces.

    3. Brown the Lamb

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground lamb with garlic and cumin seed until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer lamb to a bowl, leaving oil in skillet.

    4. Crisp the Chickpeas

    Add remaining olive oil to skillet with chickpeas. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden and starting to crisp, 8-10 minutes.

    5. Sauté Greens

    Push chickpeas to one side of the skillet. Add chopped stems of greens and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add leaves and wilt for about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

    6. Assemble and Serve

    Spoon garlicky yogurt into bowls. Top with chickpea and lamb mixture, sautéed greens, and fresh quartered tomatoes.
