Soak the ashura wheat in water for 2 hours, then drain.
Boil the lamb with the water and half the salt for 35 minutes, until tender.
Remove the meat from the pot and cut it into small pieces.
Add the wheat, chickpeas, and milk to the pot and cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
Loosen the tahini with one ladle of hot soup.
Add the tahini mixture, meat, black pepper, and remaining salt to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve hot.
💡 Tip: Soaking the wheat ahead of time helps it open faster in the pot; after adding the milk, keep the heat low.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup hot in bowls with black pepper sprinkled on top.
