Soak the chickpeas in water for 12 hours, then drain.
Put the diced beef in a pot and boil with 4 cups of water for 35 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and cook for 25 more minutes, until the meat and chickpeas are tender.
Rinse the rice, add it to the pot, and boil for 12 minutes until swollen.
Whisk the strained yogurt, egg, and salt in a separate bowl; temper it with two ladles of hot broth from the pot.
Pour the yogurt liaison into the pot in a thin stream and cook for 6 minutes while stirring.
Foam the dried mint in butter for 40 seconds, drizzle over the soup, and serve with lavash.
💡 Tip: Warm the yogurt liaison with meat broth before adding it to the pot; if poured in directly, the soup turns grainy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve lebeniye hot with mint butter, optional dried pepper pickles, and thin lavash.
